Photo Restoration Services: Frequently Asked Questions

Why is photo restoration expensive? There are many factors to consider. 

Image restoration involves the intricate process of editing out damaged parts of a photo and replicating the original contents as closely as possible. This can take hours, especially if the damage is significant. To retouch an image effectively, the re-toucher must have years of experience with digital software like Photoshop and Lightroom, along with advanced skills to fully utilize the powerful tools these platforms offer. Significantly, there are relatively few image reprinting experts with such highly honed skills. 

Can I send a framed image to Photo Fixa? 

Yes, but it is preferable to send an unframed image, negative, or USB.

Can Photo Fixa arrange for an image to be reprinted? 

Yes, we handle in-house photo printing up to A3 sheet size to scale.

Can Photo Fixa arrange for an image to be professionally framed? 

Yes, we have strong relationships with skilled framers.

Can I send a negative to Photo Fixa instead of the original image? 

Yes, we scan negatives and colour transparencies.
