Please try my photo restoration service.  Old slides and prints are often scratched and dirty; I can scan them, clean up the defects on my computer, adjust the color, help faded images to be more vivid, and bring out the detail in dark photos. I will send you the digital files, and I can have prints made in either family quality or art quality. I can also create entire albums or portfolios, and I'm happy to customize a project to your wishes.

Cost is $50/hour plus shipping and handling; most slides can be cleaned and color-adjusted for between $8 and $15, depending on condition.  Minimum charge per order: $25. I will provide a quote in advance of doing the work, and I will handle your originals with the utmost care. See some examples of digital corrections below. Contact me at lichen@idiom.com.
