Photo Restoration Services

What better way to revive an old, faded memory than with a newly restored photo? When your photos are moldy, cracked and brittle, it's important to act quickly, to avoid further deterioration or damage. The sooner the photo is scanned into a digital format, the more you'll save in photo restoration costs.

Restoration work is done on a digital copy of your photo, which is then printed on high quality photo paper with the finish of your choice, and the original is returned to you unchanged.

Don't forget to have a look at our photo restoration samples to learn more about our work.

Photo restoration is charged by the project, and includes one print sheet. Additional prints are charged by the sheet. Refer to our price chart below, which lists all the possible costs incurred when having a photo restored. Shipping charges are extra, if necessary.

Please email us if you would like a free photo restoration estimate and attach your photo to the email. We will contact you as soon as possible with your estimate, or if we have any questions.

Following is a list of adjustments and repairs that can be done to your photographs:

DVD Slide Show Services

A DVD slide show is a popular way to transform your precious and memorable photographs, slides, and video into a professional quality “Hollywood” style production on DVD. This is the perfect method for preserving your family heirlooms for a lifetime, and can also be presented at a wedding, birthday party, anniversary celebration, graduation, memorial service, or family reunion. Your photographs and video are arranged to tell a story, and will have you and your guests smiling, laughing and maybe even crying.

We can create a slide show of your photos on DVD, CD or VHS. We can add music, text and narration. We can start from negatives, slides or printed photos. Please see our pricing chart below for descriptions of our various DVD packages.  There are also several optional features to choose from, as listed below.  Shipping charges are extra, if necessary.

You may have as many slide shows as you want on one disc, with separate music for each show. When you put your disc into your CD or DVD player or computer, you will see and hear the menu page. This is basically a starting point from which you choose the slide show you would like to watch.

Be sure to read our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page, especially: What if I want the names of the photos to appear on the screen?
