IMAGING SERVICES

With the Internet becoming more and more a part of every day life, sending pictures to loved ones becomes more important.  But unless you have a scanner, it's difficult to get your pictures in a format that is both photo-quality as well as the right size to share with loved ones via e-mail or on a personal web site.

Futher,  getting copies of pictures just the way you want involves a trip to the photo shop and a lesson in how to manipulate them yourself.  Why not just send them to us?  We will scan them in such a way that you can print as many Photo Quality copies using your photo-quality printer as you want.  We'll even print them for you, if that's what you want.  We'll  create a CD for you that has your pictures formatted and optimized for both printing and sharing with easy-to-understand instructions included to tell you which is best for printing (up to 8X10 prints) or sharing in a web page or via e-mail.

But what if you have the perfect family picture except for the telephone pole that looks like it's sticking out of Great Aunt Mame's head?  Or have a major case of red-eye?  Or have something else in perfect focus that ruined an otherwise perfect picture?  What about having a missing family member added to a family picture?   What if you have a monster blemish you wish was removed from your pictures?   Sorry you got that tatoo?  We can make all of these problems disappear as if they were never in your picture, or add something that wasn't originally there.

What can and can't be done for you

	Picture focus can not be made better than the photograph you have.
	Dark photographs can be lightened and light photographs can be darkened (within certain restrictions)
	Anything can be removed from or added to a picture.
	All photographs can be put into formats that are optimized for printing as well as e-mailing. (2 formats)
	You get better quality in your printed pictures on a personalized CD than ANY other Photo CD from any film processing currently available.
	Printing of photos, (enlargements, reductions or print-it-yourself, in addition to photo retouching) are your options.
	Pricing is quoted and guaranteed before the project is started.  You will know exactly how much it will cost.
	No print of that perfect pic?   No problem.  We can use slides or negatives to get the image.

Everyone wants the perfect picture.  If you have a picture that would be perfect except for a few things, we can fix that picture (with certain restructions).  We do NOT keep pictures sent to us.  All materials sent to us are returned along with the CD containing the pictures

Costs, Prices and Means

Every project has a $30.00 minimum.  Prints (filling a page up to 8X10) are at $1.00 each.  Every project includes a CD containing your pictures optimized for BOTH e-mail as well as printing.  Most projects can be done for the minimum fee.   Pricing for projects requiring more resources or time than are covered by the minimum fee will be given before the project is started.  A current address and e-mail address are required to take advantage of this service.
