5 Things You Must Know Before Choose a Photo Restoration Service You're finally ready to obtain that old photo of grandma repaired. You know the one that's been in that shoebox on the Counters for the last 3 months? Somewhere 20 years ago an important person spilled a Tab on it and it has a crease from where someone tried to fold it in half. Either way, it looks rough. You've battered the internet and phone book looking for a photo restoration service, but there are so many choices, you just aren't sure what you're looking for. There is a lot of great Photo Restoration Service out there that can help you out, all promising various services like free prints, free color correction, tone adjustments, etc. But here are the 10 things you must know before choosing an important person to restore your picture. 1. Those other free services they include? Worthless. You want your photo restored because it's damaged. But look! This company also offers free "tone alteration" with each order. While you may be enticed by all the free "extra's" many companies include, be advice that most photo editing software, like Adobe Photoshop, has built-in automatic tools that auto-correct things like contrast and color. Unfortunately, many companies just press those buttons and send the image out. This adjustment should be done by hand, as the routine settings often leave the photo look inferior than before 2. That company down the road you hired? They may send your Photo Editing Indian Sad but true. Like any service these days, your retouching work may be farmed out to some remote little office building in India or the Cary Nc. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, as you will almost certainly get a great result. However if you have special requirements for your photo restoration job, they may not be translated very well and could reason your photo to need additional work when you see the proof. Simply ask the photo retouching company if they sub out work before you commit to anything. 3. Many of the services you might pay for, you can get for free So you'd have the perfect wedding photo, if it weren't for the red-eye and zit on your niece. You may be tempted to take this to a photo restoration company to have retouched. Don't. Just download Picassa from Google (it's free) and let it help you robotically correct this and other little photo enhancements. Leave the big problems for the restoration expert. 4. The inclusion of a "free print" should not be a decide factor Many companies offer a "free print" with your photo restoration profession. Usually, these are printed on normal cheap photo paper on a home imprinter. If you really want the print, 5. Always obtain your photo scan physically This one makes a bit more work for you, but don't trust any company to include the scanning. Most will either overcharge you or will scan at a lower resolution. You can take the photo to cary or any other similar store and have it scanned at 600dpi and send the company a digital copy via email. Also, if you have issues with the retouched, they will only have a digital version and you won't have to wait days or weeks for them to return your original photo before you can move on to another seller.
