GJ Photographic Prices and info

	Prices for photo restoration work are based on 4 categories depending on the amount of work required. The following is a rough guide only, I am happy to give a price before starting any work.
Category 1:	Slight marks or creases on plain background only. Remove marks and adjust colour, brightness, and contrast.	£7.60
Category 2:	Slight marks, creases or lines on plain background or subject, but not on faces. Remove marks and creases etc, adjust colour, brightness, and contrast.	£12.10
Category 3:	Marks, creases, or lines on background or subject, light marks on face of one person, slight fading of colours.. Remove marks and creases etc, adjust colour, brightness, and contrast.	£16.90
Category 4:	Marks, creases, or lines on background or subject, marks on faces of up to three people, slight fading of colours.. Remove marks and creases etc, adjust colour, brightness, and contrast. Join together two separate images that are of a similar colour and contrast, and in good condition, change backgrounds, superimpose people or objects on to different backgrounds etc.	From:- £22.90
	Please note: All the above prices do not include the cost of the final prints. The above categories are for guidance only. I am always willing to provide an estimate for any work that does not match any of the above descriptions, such as badly damaged pictures or complicated image manipulation.

Print Costs (in addition to work done)
Size up to:	Price:
4" x 5.5"	£1.40
5.5" x 8"	£2.30
8" x 11"	£3.90
11" x 11"	£9.20
11" x 15.5"	£12.50
12.5" x 18"	£16.00
16.5" x 23.2" (A2)	£17.00

The pricing category can sometimes depend on the size of the print asked for, as a large print will magnify small marks more than a small print and will therefore require more time to do the restoration.
I will save all finished work incase any more prints are required in the future. These will be priced at my standard print costs, subject to the previous paragraph.
Any photos that have to be posted to me should be carefully packed to prevent damage in the post, but remember that there is always a slight chance of items being lost or damaged in the post. The cost of return post will be added to the total cost.
I am often asked if I can do restoration work from scans that the customer has done and emailed to me. I have found that this is not always a good idea as most of the low priced scanners available today are not able to resolve detail in shadows and highlights, the scanning stage is important in a lot of photos such as very dark or faded prints.
