Photo Restoration Services Do Amazing Work

If you've ever had a treasured photo damaged, or would like that old photo of Great-Great-Grandmother restored to its original condition, consider an online restoration service.  ScanCafe is one such service and I recently asked them to restore an image of my cousin.  Her mother asked me to see what I could do with it since she knew I was into digital photography.  Well, when I saw the print, I knew it was beyond my abilities so I uploaded it to ScanCafe.   Just scan the photo at 600dpi or greater and post it for a quote which is usually between $10 and $40 depending on the amount of time they expect the restoration will take.  The response will take a few days. With my photo, I was expecting the price to be close to the top end of the scale but the quote was for $9.95, the exact opposite.

There are several online and traditional restoration services. If you would like to try ScanCafe, the quotes are free, the prices are very reasonable and the results are stunning.
