Hi, I am Peter



Robert Berrima Quinn
This is how we do it .
I always recommend sending your original images (where it is possible to) as we can extract the most information from your photos, slides, or negatives with our equipment. However, you can also send a scanned digital file you’ve created.
All original photos, artwork and materials are handled with exceptional care and our quotation is always confirmed with you prior to commencement of any restoration.
Once confirmed and restored we send you a digital proof so you can review the restoration and conrm you are satisfied with the results.
When you are satisfied with the end result we send you a digital file and or an archival-quality digital print, along with your original photo’s or artwork.
Refer to my scanning guide to ensure you deliver the best result.
We always initialize the process by creating a high definition copy of your image that we store as your backup and from which we also work for your restoration. This leaves your photo or scan in its original condition.

Extreme Photo Restoration is where your photos have been through the wringer so to speak, so badly damaged that they look like they are only good to be thrown into a bin.
Don’t throw them away, ask me to review them for you to see if they are salvageable. It is not uncommon to be able to retrieve some of the worst cases of damage to photos.
Each photo is quoted in a case by case manner in intense restoration situations.
There are times when the amount of time and restorative effort puts the cost out of reach, simply because of the time that is required to recover and restore some images, however we can evaluate that for you and let you know before you decide to throw away precious memories.
Remember, once they are gone they are gone for ever.
