FAQs About Photo Editing & Restoration

How do you handle my original photos? 

You should provide a high-quality scan or digital copy of your original photo. This ensures your original is never at risk of further damage. If you don’t have a scanner, I can assist you with creating a high-resolution digital copy.

Can you add color to a black-and-white photo? 

Yes, I can use specialized techniques to carefully and realistically colorize black-and-white or sepia-toned photos, adding a new dimension to your old memories.

How long does photo restoration take?

The turnaround time depends on the complexity of the damage, but I can provide a more specific estimate after reviewing your photo. As a general guide:
  • Minor Damage (e.g., small photo tears, minor fading): Typically takes 1-2 business days.
  • Moderate Damage (e.g., multiple creases, water spots, significant photo discoloration): Can take 3-5 business days.
  • Extensive Damage (e.g., large missing sections, severe fading, major tears): May take 5-7 business days or longer, depending on the amount of detail that needs to be recreated.
