Professional correction of color, contrast, and density for a simple, clean optimization of the picture.

After full color optimization, a fresh & natural complexion is maintained as we remove any acne and blemishes, eliminate or reduce facial lines, and teeth are whitened.  Enhanced red eye correction eliminates the red, brings back washed out eye color, and improves the 'snap' to the reflections in the eye.

Standard Retouch plus more control over the retouching process.  A detailed note can be added to your order within certain guidelines*.  Have a distinguishing mole that you don't want removed?  Want all the blemishes retouched but only slight softening of age lines?  Do you wish to be sure your eyes are the proper shade of blue?  If so, Premium Retouch is what you want to choose!  Premium Retouch allows you the freedom to precisely tailor the desired level of retouching for your photo.

• Elimination or reduction of facial lines, laugh lines, or wrinkles
• Removal of moles, acne, freckles, birthmarks, and skin discolorations

Restore your favorite family memories. This service is ideal for old photos that have sustained some physical damage, but not if important detail is completely missing. We repair fading, spots, cracks, stains, tears, yellowing, and damage on your old photos and replace any torn corners and minor gaps. The original vibrancy & luster of the photo is restored.

How to prepare your photo:

It's very important that you create a good scan or have a high quality scan made of your photo, such as at Kinko's. Be sure your photo and scanner glass are very clean. Set the scanner to 300 DPI and save the image as a JPG with compression set to low compression or good quality.

Your Restoration note controls:

• You may either choose the color tone of the photo from black & white, sepia, blue-tone, or rose-colored image or retain the tint or natural colors of the original (we'll still take out any stains). If you don't specify a color tone, we'll keep it as close as possible to the original colors, corrected for fading.
• Request removal of background detail so that the key elements are more prominent or to keep the existing background to maintain the integrity of the original photo.
• Specify a crop if you like.
