Pricing
Aug/090
One of the reasons that people hesitate to send their damaged photos in for restoration is that they are afraid of the cost of such a project. If you do a search for photo restoration prices you are likely to be met with a wide variety of prices for the work you want done. You could see prices that range from £5 to up to £100, depending on how extensive the work is.
You are also faced with some uncertainty with the project. What if you pay for the photo restoration or an image enhancement, and you are not happy with the results. You have already paid your money, so your options are somewhat limited.
Doctor Photo takes away the risks involved with having your old photos worked on by not requiring any money up front. When the work on your photos is competed you will be sent a copy of the restored photo. That gives you a chance to review all of the work before you pay for anything. So if you are not completely satisfied with the work that was done, you don’t have to pay anything.
The copy of your photo will have a watermark on it, but once you are satisfied with the results and have paid for the work you will be sent the final version of your photo without the watermark. This image can then be printed onto photo paper from your home computer, or taken to a photo service for printing. If the quality of your original photo is good enough, you could have the image enlarged to a size that is suitable for framing.
You can send a digital copy of your photo either through email, or you can use the file uploader at the Doctor Photo website. When you send the image file you can describe the work that you want done. Basic photo work can many times be completed and sent back to you the same day. If the work is more than just basic touch-up work, you will be given an estimate of the pricing before any work is done. That way there won’t be any surprises when the restoration is completed.
Although photo restoration is one of the more popular services available with Doctor Photo, it is by far not the extent of the work they can do for you. You could also consider having your photos converted from black and white to colour, or having a creative treatment such as a collage done with your photos. In fact, the only limit to what can be done is your creativity and your budget. If you have an idea all you need to do is contact Doctor Photo to get a pricing quote for the work you want done.
The technology that will allow you to have your damaged photos repaired is here. Don’t let your fear of outrageous pricing stop you from enjoying your photos once again.
A Photo Gift for Every Occasion
Aug/090
You may be looking for a gift that will be remembered, get pleasure from and be cherished, then you should really think about photo gifts for your next special event. Photos can make such magnificent gifts because they are especially personal. It is clear that you were thinking of the individual, and not just running out to the shops at the last minute. It will be remembered as a gift that came from the heart.
How about something old
One grand gift idea is to take damaged or old photos and have them restored, or improved for the person that special person that will receive the gift. This is particularly good if the person has a compilation of old photos that have faded or be in need of some repair. You could have these photographs, restored, have the fading enhanced, or even have old black and white photos turned into colour as if they were taken yesterday.
The good thing about photos is that it doesn’t matter how old they are as they can all be scanned and transformed digitally onto a computer. Once you have done this, they can be safely returned before the person even notices that they have been removed. All of the restoration is then done on the digital copies, so once the photo has been scanned the original is no longer required.
Or Something New
Why not create something new and exciting from your own photos. For example, you may have photos of you and your partner when you first met, when you were married and maybe a recent one. Then why not send all three so we can create a beautiful collage. Or you could take photos of your children and combine them so that they could be standing behind themselves when they were younger. A nice idea for could be to collate photos of all the grandchildren and have them all put on the one photo for your parents. This is a good method if the relations are spread out and it is not easy to get together for a group photo.
You may have that great shot of yourself and another one of your partner but they are on separate photos, no problem, just send them both and we will place you together on a background of your choice.
It doesn’t matter what the occasion is, whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, a special anniversary, like a 50th or a paper anniversary (very appropriate as a photo is obviously paper) or any other occasion a personalised photo gift would fit perfectly, the ends are almost limitless to what you can do with a photo these days, all you need is some imagination and a little creativity to bring joy and a smile to that special person in your life.
