Hello and Welcome
My name is Blanche and I specialize in digital image enhancement and careful photo restoration. Working only with digital copies, which you email to me, your originals are always safe and never leave your home.
I use Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Affinity Photo software. I do not use quick filters or “one button click” apps to restore or colour your photo. I treat each defect, shade and characteristic carefully and with great attention to detail. I always aim to achieve results which look “natural” but still have old world antique charm.
A free assessment and quote is given before a photo restoration project begins. My rates are R350 per hour. A photo with modest restoration (as per my second example) should take an hour. If the photo is badly damaged and more time is required, I will quote accordingly.
A 50 % deposit is required and all payments are via PayPal for buyer and seller protection. If you don't have PayPal, you can still pay the invoice as a PayPal Guest using your debit or Credit Card.
Examples of my Work:
- STEP 1 - Upload or email a copy of your photo (a cellphone photo will suffice at this stage). Tell me what you would like done with your photo.
- STEP 2 - A free assessment and quote is given before a photo restoration project begins. My rates are R350 per hour. A photo with modest restoration should take an hour. If the photo is badly damaged and more time is required, I will quote accordingly.
- STEP 3 - Once you give me the go ahead, I will ask you to upload or email a colour scan, (even if the photo is originally in black and white) at a minimum of 300 dots per inch (300 dpi) and preferably up to 600 dpi. Save your scan as a TIFF if possible, or alternatively a JPEG. Simply click on the "UPLOAD MY PHOTO" button above. Select the FREE option, upload your file, insert my email address: blancheprice123@gmail.com. Alternatively you can also send your scan as an email attachment.
- STEP 4 - I will send you an invoice for a 50% deposit to start the work. Payments are via PayPal for buyer and seller protection. If you don't have PayPal, you can still pay the invoice as a PayPal Guest using your debit or Credit Card.
- STEP 5 - Once I complete the restoration/colorization, I will send you a proof for you to approve. At this point you can make any additional requests or tweaking and I will send you Proofs until you are completely happy with the result.
- STEP 6 - When you are happy, you pay the remaining 50% and I will email you the restored photo.
