Price Guide

How much will it cost to edit my photograph?

Photo Restoration:

The cost of having a photograph or document restored, retouched, deep etched or coloured, is based on the time required to repair and enhance each individual image. The following is a guide only.  Accurate quotes can only be given upon viewing the original image or document as some damage is not clearly evident until the image is scanned or assessed very closely.

Level 1: Suitable for images which may have faded or discoloured over time, but do not require any other repair. Service includes;  Scanning of print, slide or negative, adjusting  density (levels of brightness), contrast and colour balance plus ropping and resizing of image to suit your specifications.  White borders and/or text may also be added. Minimum Charge for this service is $25

Level 2: In addition to services offered with Level 1, this service  also includes the repair of minor damage such as scratches, tears, dust spots, mould, stains, etc. on non-critical  areas of the image. Cost for this service is $25 -$50

Level 3: In addition to services provided for Level 1 and 2, this service includes repair of moderate damage, including damage to ‘critical’ areas on the image such as faces. Cost for this service ranges from $50 – $150  ( The addition of colour to black and white images may incur an additional charge.)

Level 4: Images with extensive damage or special restoration needs such as the rebuilding of facial features, limbs, etc., reconstruction or the removal or addition of elements such as adding an extra person, fall into this category.  In some instances, where large portions of the image have been lost, it may be necessary to work from more than one photograph.  Subjects may also be removed. This type of restoration is  generally more time consuming, so a quote may be given upon request.  $150+
