Living Legacies

PHOTO RETOUCHING, RESTORATION and ENHANCEMENT

Your photos are priceless memories. With our digital photo retouching services, we can repair that old, faded, cracked or torn picture; add or remove a background or object; colorize a black & white image; enhance the image and make it the way it was meant to be; or even create the photo you missed on that memorable day! If we restore pictures for use in your Living Legacies story, this service is included. However, if a Legacy is not for you right now, we offer another way for you to give gifts of lasting and priceless value!


Two ‘okay’ pictures on holiday, but don’t say much.

Put them together and there is the moment!!

THE PROCESS

Submission by Mail - with tracking service
We ask that you do not provide us with any picture or item that is irreplaceable. High resolution (300 dpi) printed reproductions by a good photography studio are worth your investment; or you can have a company like FedEx Kinko’s or Office Depot scan your pictures for you, placing the digital files onto a CD. Please note, if the picture is exceptionally small, please increase resolution accordingly.

Then prepare the prints or CD for mailing in a sturdy mailer. See contact page for address. Clearly mark your package and each item with your name, contact information and description of work desired.

If you would like to have a quote before sending your high resolution scans or prints, feel free to email 72 dpi scans of the pictures to us beforehand.

Submission by Email
If you prefer to use email, prepare a scan or high resolution (300 dpi) jpegs can be emailed to us. If the original is exceptionally small, increase the resolution. When emailing, zip each picture’s file, and send as separate attachments to ensure transmission does not exceed the restrictions of the email servers. Attachments in email can produce distortions.

Final Product Format Choices

emailed digital file(s)
or printed version on high quality, acid-free glossy paper (materials/shipping added)

Please be sure to include your contact information and your instructions for each picture, including final product format.

Quotes
Once we receive your picture(s), we will contact you with a guaranteed price quote for our services. Upon receipt of your emailed agreement we will place your job in production.

Approval
We will email you a watermarked version of the final work for your comments and acceptance. We will make every effort to be sure you are satisfied.

Payment/Shipment
Upon receipt of emailed approval of the work, we will email your expected invoice, together with a PayPal link. Upon payment confirmation by PayPal, we shall send your final, unwatermarked digital file, or mail the prints or CD as requested using a tracking service.
