Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What does it cost?

Q. Can I mail a print to you and have you scan it and retouch it?
A. No. Any photograph can be digitized by scanning. If you have a high quality scanner you can digitize your photographs yourself.

Local photo labs can digitize your photographs for you, converting your printed photos to digital format and storing them on a CD. National chains such as Walgreen's, CVS, Wal-Mart, Staples, Office Max and Kinko's can also perform this service for you.

Q. Do you ship your work overseas to be done?
A. No. All of my work is done right here in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I do have an assistant who works in my studio with my supervision. Each and every file that is delivered has received my personal attention and finishing touches.

Q. Can I see the results of the retouching before the order is delivered?
A. Yes! I will email a watermarked version of the file for your approval before completing and delivering the final version of the file.

Q. How is the final version delivered?
A. Electronically via email attachment or as a downloadable file depending upon the finished file size. Final versions are generally made available in JPEG format unless another format is requested at the time the order is placed.

Q. Do you do restorations or modifications of product or commercial photos?
A. Yes. I have expertise in all types of commercial photo preparation and modification.

Q: Do you keep a copy of my files?
A: Yes, I keep a before and after archived for 10 years.

Q. I have another question not answered above.
A. Please email it to me and I will answer as quickly as possible.
