How does it work?
Bring in your item. Our staff will provide you with a quote, taking into consideration the level of damage and work required. We then make a high-resolution scan from your original, completing the restoration digitally. You can then have prints made, and the digital file if you choose. Minimum cost is $126.49 for up to an 8x10 with moderate restoration work required.
Please Note: We cannot accept images for restoration through email.
What if you only have a digital copy? You can upload your file through our online printing site. We will contact you if the file requires more extensive work.

Restore Sepia and Clean up Dust & Scratches
Many old prints just need some colour & density adjustments, dust cleaning and scratch repairs.
Restoration and ColoUrization of
Black & White
A simple background and subject are more straightforward to work with - multiple people, patterned clothing and complicated backgrounds require more extensive work.
Restoring Colour
Sometimes we can bring back and improve colour; but in this case we had to colourize the whole image.
Improving Density and Contrast
Density and contrast adjustments can bring back detail but can also make scratches, dirt and staining more noticeable.
Restoring Faces and Features
These can require more extensive digital work to retain features, especially if there are parts missing or severely damaged areas.
Restoring Cracks and Tears
Restoration of torn and cracked photos, surface scratches and missing areas are more complicated when they involve faces and hands.
HOW WE
DO IT
Every restoration is performed digitally, preserving the integrity of your original photograph.
Whenever possible, your original is scanned on our high resolution professional scanner which captures every detail. For restorations that cannot be scanned (originals larger than 16x24 inches, or originals of any size that are textured, glossy, or warped) we must obtain a digital file via Camera Copy.
Before any restoration work begins, we'll help you select your preferred print size and finish - your restored photo can be printed on your choice of traditional
lustre, premium
fine art paper, or
canvas. You can also request a digital copy of your restored image on USB for safekeeping and future use.
For the perfect finishing touch, ask us about Custom Framing options to beautifully display and protect your treasured memories.
HOW MUCH WILL IT
COST?
Quotes are determined for free on a per-job basis and based on the time required to complete the requested work.
In most cases, our staff must inspect your original in-person before providing you with an estimate.
