Color Correction
Old prints and digital photos, with color that looks right again.
Old prints that have turned orange, magenta, or washed-out yellow, and digital photos that came out dull, dark, or tinted by bad lighting — corrected so skin tones, skies, and colors look the way they did in person.
Color film and prints shift as they age: blues fade first, leaving everything orange or pink, and contrast slowly drains away. Color correction rebalances the whole image — white balance, skin tones, exposure, and contrast — so the photo looks natural instead of dated. Digital photos get the same treatment: phone and camera shots that came out too dark, too yellow under indoor lights, washed out by flash, or tinted blue or green can be corrected so the moment looks the way you remember it.

Common questions
How much does color correction cost?
It's priced based on how many photos there are and how much each one needs. Send a rough count and a sample or two and I'll quote it.
What's the difference between color correction and restoration?
Color correction fixes color, exposure, and contrast across the whole image. Restoration repairs physical damage like tears, cracks, and stains. Many older photos benefit from both.
Can you fix digital photos, not just old prints?
Yes — phone and camera photos are some of the most common requests. Dim indoor lighting, yellow bulbs, harsh flash, and odd blue or green casts can all be corrected. Just send the original files at full size, not screenshots or copies from social media, so there's as much detail as possible to work with.
Can you make a whole album look consistent?
Yes — correcting a batch together keeps colors consistent from photo to photo, which is especially nice for albums, slideshows, and memorial displays.
How long does it take?
Most batches are finished within about a week, depending on how many photos there are.
