Reproduction, Restoration, & Artwork Services

We scan your prints on high quality scanners, and then optimise your image's colour and sharpness before sending the file to print on genuine photographic paper via our Agfa D-lab digital print unit. Copies are generally as good, or better, than your original. While your photo is being reproduced, we can restore or alter the photo digitaly.

Common restoration tasks we can do

  • Open closed eyes
  • Hand colour black & white photos
  • Remove dust/scratches
  • Remove ex-husbands/wives
  • Turn frowns upside-down
  • Remove annoying backgrounds
  • Remove skin imperfections
  • Add people from other photos
  • Merge photos into a panorama
  • and much more!
Prices range from $10 to $100+ for the above alterations. If you've got any other sort of image manipulation request, we can probably do that too. Bring your prints in for a quote today.

*Restoration comes under the category of 'Artwork' - which can also include any other kind of digital manipulation.

As you can see, after the first print the price for subsequent prints drops to a regular 'reprint' price (so long as they're printed at the same time as the first copy). Once copied, these files stay archived at our store - you can reorder at any time simply by giving us the file-name and date stamped on the back of your copy. Re-orders are subject to the 'Digital Prints - from File' prices found here.

Before

After
Tip: Over time the chemicals and silver in photographic paper eventually 'eat' (degrade) the photo itself. If you start to see shiny spots on your older prints (oxidation), be sure to take notice, and have them reproduced before it's too late. If this aging process worsens, scanning and reproduction becomes difficult and therefore more expensive. Many precious images are forever lost because of this natural aging process.
