What can be done to my photo?

  • Damaged photos can be repaired - Minor Improvements - No Miracles!  (torn, faded, out of focus) I can only repair what I can see.  If you are missing 1/2 of a picture I can't draw the other half on!
  • Resize Pictures - I can resize photos up to 8 1/2" x 11".  You will loose some detail if you are going from a small size to a very large size.  Keep that in mind.
  • Recolor pictures - I can color black and white photos.  I will need direction on what colors, etc...  See examples for ideas.
  • Toning pictures - I can tone entire photo to one color.  Blue, Sepia, and Pink work well.  see examples.
  • Convert to Black and White - I can convert any color photo to black and white.
  • Crop Photo - I can crop photo to your specifications.  An example would be taking a full length photo and cropping it to make a close-up.  See examples for ideas.
  • Remove Items or Background - I can remove items depending on what they are.  I may not be able to remove items it they will distort the main subject of the photo.  A good example would be removing a tree from the background.  I can also completely remove the background, again depending on the individual photo.  A new background can be put in it's place.  (A solid color, maybe a backdrop, or a specific background if you choose)
  • Adding Items into picture - I can add items into your photo.  Maybe you would like to add a person, a house, etc..  Nothing too advanced.  Again, I can't work miracles.
  • I CANNOT WORK ON ANY COPYRIGHTED OR STUDIO PHOTOS WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM STUDIO OR WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT YOU OWN THE PHOTO.
  • I CANNOT WORK WITH NEGATIVES.  PHOTOS ONLY!
  • I CANNOT MAKE NEGATIVES, YOU WILL RECEIVE A NEW PHOTO ONLY!
