The editing process requires three steps: scanning/evaluating, repair, approval and output (printing, saving to CD-ROM or posting for download). SCANNING AND EVALUATING The process begins once we receive your original image. We first make a high resolution digital scan. (The original may be either an original print, slide or negative) Once the item is scanned, the original is safely stored and will be returned to you with your newly restored image. All work is done to the digitally scanned copy we have created; your original is never altered and will be returned to you packaged securely and in the same condition in which it was received. RECONSTRUCTION Once scanned and evaluated, obvious spots, cracks, stains and scratches are removed and the overall color tone and contrast adjusted. Now, with a clear clean digital image more involved re-creation and rebuilding can proceed. Upon completion of the work, a private webpage containing an onscreen version for you to proof will be posted and you will be e-mailed the web address. From your private web page, you can proof the completed work prior to final output. (See asample photo restoration approval page.) OUTPUT Once you have approved our workmanship, you can choose from or combine the following output options: - Photographic prints
- CD-ROM
- On-line Delivery
- 35mm slides
