photo restoration

Photo RestorationWriten by Victor Strelkovsky

More than a decade ago photo retouchers work was comparable with oil painting restorers scrupulous efforts. It goes without saying that digital technologies turned over image restoration service: complicated procedures became easy; some things seemed impossible at the time are real now. Faded colors, scratches, tears, missing or damaged areas are not the problem. Would you like to turn your black and white picture into color, adjust contrast and sharpness, replace an old background by a new one? Photo restoration artists will do their best. They fix only a digital copy, not the original picture.

Its not a secret that new digital culture led to a boom in online use. There are a lot of photo restoration web studios, which offer faultless service to its customers. Yet is it so easy to find really professional and right artist? That is the question and Ill try to find an answer. I got a lot of mails from the customers who asked me to redo restoration work made by some other studio. And their complains are really not without reason. So lets try to settle the requirements a professional online digital photo service must meet.

Pay attention to sample images on the site. Are there enough quantity of quality works? Enlarged pictures could tell you much more about studio artists skills than small versions. Trustworthy online resource has second level domain name, professional layout and design. Be curious about methods and order of payment. Could you pay for your order only after youll get a proof? Will the artist promise to touch up your image after you paid for it and notice some small defects? Does the studio provide a bonus and discount system? It will be also good if you can see how the work is going. Its nice if you get an answer during one business day. Professional photo restoration studio gives a free price quote and offers rush order service. You can find customers testimonials on the right studio site. It offers maximum services, individual attention, full confidentiality, convenient files upload form, good site navigation. You should have a possibility to get a detailed calculation and to discuss the details of your order. Careful attention to client and his/her photos is the most important thing.

Its hard to write about all details in one article. Ill be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Kind regards,
