This site is FREE to register and use. You can build your own tree for free. You only pay for photo editing services if you want them and for the finished products when you're ready to order them.
Standard Photo Retouching Service
Our standard photo retouching service includes:
1-Proper Sizing/Cropping and Resolution for best fit in photo frames.
2-Background Replacement- makes all photos clean and consistent by removing the differing backgrounds and replacing them with a standard one designed to work with the art.
3-Sepia Color Correction- converts all photos to a common sepia tone that will make the photos look like they all belong together. Due to differing densities of each photo, there will still be some variation, but they will look much better together than otherwise.
We recommend you select this option for all your photos so that they all come out looking like they belong together in a single piece of art. If you order multiple copies of the same project, the photo editing service fees only apply to the first copy, not any additional copies. See
example of before and after.
Photo Restoration Service
We also offer photo restoration services for very old or damaged photos. Photo restoration is a more complicated process that removes scratches, fixes fading, smothes over blemishes and generally brings new life to a very old or damaged photo. Price is for area of the photo that will be in photo frame only. Price also includes all of the services provided in the Standard Retouch. See
example of before and after.
If you choose not to have your photos professionally edited, you can do the work yourself using photo editing software like Photoshop. View our
Photo Preparation Guidelines
if choosing to do it yourself.

SHIPPING
We offer free ground shipping to the continental USA. For shipping to other countries or to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, we recommend that you purchase your product "unstretched" which means it will come to you as a rolled canvas, shipped in a tube and then you can have it stretched and framed locally. Shipping costs to non-continental USA and Canadian locations will be done by air and will cost extra.
