Basic Services
Cropping - the removal of the outer parts of an image to improve framing, accentuate subject matter or change aspect ratio.
Red Eye Correction - a common problem that affects subjects in photos due to lighting conditions.
Add Caption or Text - add a phrase, saying, name, details about photo, pretty much anything you what it to say.
Color/Hue Correction - The attribute of a color by virtue of which it is discernible as red, green, etc., and which is dependent on its dominant wavelength, and independent of intensity or lightness
Color Change - Part or all of your photo can have color changes applied. Switch red hair to blonde, black shirt to purple, etc, or combine black and white with color effects
Touch Ups (Fix Hair, Skin, Clothes, Etc.) - remove unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, line. Whiten teeth, tan skin, remove stray hairs, the possibilities are endless.
Background Change - can be applied to
entire background, or a specific portion.
Combine 2 different photos together to create an
more appealing result.
Improve/Blur Focus - typically applied to the background of a photo, bring photo into better focus, or add a blur to make parts of the photo stand out more.
Adjust Contrast - To set in opposition in order to show or emphasize differences.
Time Machine/Convert to Black N White - Send photos back in time with older rustic looks (can include older style framing) Or convert your photo to black and white.
Lighten/Darken Area - can be applied to entire photo, or a section of the photo.
Special Services
Add/Remove Person/Object - add/remove unwanted Persons/Objects from image.
Photo Restoration - photos become faded, damaged, dusty, folded, torn, etc. Fear not, for most photos, photo restoration can save them and bring them back to life. Most backgrounds, clothing, items in photos can be corrected/replaced, however, it is not possible to recreate someone's' face unfortunately, so if a face is not visible, I may not be able to help unless you have another photo of that person to put in place of the missing piece.
Glamorize -
remove the original background and replace it with one a "Photo Studio" backdrop or use other techniques, to create a more attractive background. Then I make cosmetic changes to improve clothes, hair and skin. The resulting image becomes what appears to be a professionally take photograph.
Colorize - a process in which photos that are originally Black and White (or other faded shades of color), are restored and have color added to them. I will work one on one very closely with you during this process to make sure that I have the colors you expect perfect. Keep in mind, depending on how many subjects are in a photo, this process can be lengthy, and you should not expect a rush order in less then 5 days, though I will do the best I can to complete it as quickly as possible.
Graphically Inspired -In addition to a basic retouch, computer drawn images can be added to your photo. The possibilities are endless. Cartoon Characters, objects, fairy/angel wings, speech bubbles, only limited by your imagination. I can also add custom designed Frames to your pictures.
DVD Slide Show of Photos - slide shows can be created using a number of different transition and color effects.
Add Song of your choice to DVD Slide Show/Video - you can either send me a copy of your song if I don't currently have it, or a copy can be purchased for you in which case I will include a copy of the song file on it's own as well as on the DVD.
Convert VHS to DVD -any VHS can be copied onto DVD. The quality of the original VHS will determine the quality of the DVD produced.
Add Title/Credits to Video - add titles/credits, a phrase, saying, name, details about photo/video, pretty much anything you what it to say.
Add Special Effects to Video - artistic, black n white, cinematic, mirror, motions and fades, dissolves, reveals, pan and zoom, and much more.
Copy of Photos/Video CD - a copy of your photos or video burned onto a professional disk with label and jewel case
