What is Photo Restoration? 

  Photo Restoration is enhancing and restoring badly faded photographs to their original exposure and color values; cleaning and removing spots, rips, creases or tears of a badly damaged photograph; restoring a missing part of a damaged photograph; or removing redeye effect, glass glare, an unwanted mole, wrinkles, tattoos or sticking hair.

  Most of us have old photos that have turned yellow, gotten scratched or torn (possibly on purpose?). Even some of our brand new photographs just don't look right; they are too dark, the baby has a case of "red eye", you love the beach shot, but the boyfriend/girlfriend isn't around anymore. Don't know what to do with them? RestoreYourPhotos.com has just the solution for you. We offer you our service of "Photo Restoration".

   Most photographs can be restored and re-energized. It's a wonderful way to save old memories that are fading as we speak. Using our knowledge and arsenol of software programs, we improve, correct and enhance most any photo you have. We can also create new pictures by combining two or more same sized individual photos or by combining many photos of varying sizes into a collage for that special event like a 50th Anniversary Party or Sweet 16 Birthday, or for memories of someone who is moving away. We can change the background or colorize a black/white photo.

  We never do any work on your original photograph. All the photo restoration work is done on a digital copy of your photograph. The original is returned to you in the same condition in which it was received by us. We will send you an email of the finished photo for your approval before finalizing any file or print of the photo. Satisfaction is guaranteed, and if you don't like the results, we will return the original photo to you within 5 working days of receiving your disapproval, no questions asked, and no charge for our work.

   We will not retouch or copy any professionally taken and/or Copy Righted photograph without written consent of the photographer or the copy right owner. We will not undertake any work that might have pornographic and immoral implications. We keep the right to refuse any order.
