Work is currently accepted by appointment only. Please contact us to discuss your project.
For each photograph to be refreshed:
All retouching is done on a digital "copy" of the original photograph. No alterations or retouching will be made to the original print or negative.
Restoration can be as basic as removing spots or stains, to recreating missing detail due to tears or fading. As such the degree of retouching can be small or great and will determine pricing for the project.
You are welcome to provide your own scans. This can speed up the production process and remove the chance of loss or damage in transit.
We can scan your photograph into a digital copy. Please contact us to make arrangements.
Minimum charge: $40 + shipping & handling charges
There are several fine quality scanning services available on the internet. We recommend using these:

Tip If you do send us the items to be scanned, we advise to use an insured, trackable shipping method; UPS or FedEx is preferred.
Disclaimer Photomynt assumes no responsibility for transit loss or damage. Please insure any shipment accordingly.
