&qPhoto E.R." is similar to every E.R., emergency room, in that we evaluate the problem and separate the restoration in categories. The triage or sorting process determines the severity of the restoration and is broken into four separate classes.
Minor Restoration – is required to repair damages such a minor scratches or spots, red eye and blemish removal, slight adjustments to color and overall appearance. Cosmetic adjustments required to repair or enhance minor facial features.
Moderate Restoration – is determined when repairs are necessary to fix moderate scratches or surface cracking, areas of surface is torn, damaged or missing.
Existence of moderate mold or water damage or major color correction or image enhancement is required.
Severe Restoration – is determined when the photo is in very bad condition requiring extensive repair. Photo is missing subject detail or significantly damaged to the surface, severe mold and or water damage, numerous scratches and or cracking. Photo is severely faded, yellowed or stained or fire and smoke damaged.
Quotation Required – before we proceed further with a restoration that requires special attention we will provide a detailed quotation and approval in writing is required before we will continue. Our quotations are also provided for any restoration upon request and we stand firm with the quotation that we provide no matter if further adjustments are necessary.
If we find that the restoration process boarder lines a category we will provide our services in most cases at the next lower rate. In all fairness, if the restoration required exceeds a given category before we proceed you will be notified.
Please view the samples in each restoration category that we have set as our professional standards. Also, you are invited to visit the samples covered under the "Photo Enhancement" section to further explore our capabilities.
