I was wondering if there was a need out there for anyone needing help
with photography restoration. I've been repairing old photos to put on
video cd's lately (a hobby). I made one for a friend to give to her husband
this past Christmas. The gift went over very well.
If interested you can see a few samples at

Any favorable comments are welcome.
Depending on Photo, 20 to 30 dollars for a restoration.
If this post is in the wrong newsgroup, sorry in advance.
much appreciated...mdm

Originals are on the right, repairs on the left.

Actually, I wasn't.  I honestly couldn't see a really noticeable difference
amongst or between any of the images.

I owe the OP a sincere apology.  I did not work the website correctly and I
only saw the damaged photos on the first page.

My Bad.

Seriously?  Not the one with the big tear right down the middle?  How about
the one with a kid and an adult, and the entire adult was erased in the
"repaired" version?  (Quite impressive, I might add.)  Maybe you should see
your eye doctor?  ;)

Question,  What do you charge for "erasing" someone out in real life?

$100,000 minimum, depending on their size.  ;)

Very nicely done!  There certainly is a demand for this sort of thing, and
you can charge top dollar for it, too.  $20-30 is cheap - you can easily
raise that price.  This is the "wrong group" in that most of us probably
know how to do this for ourselves already (at least us digitally inclined
types who are familiar with Photoshop), but it was fun to see your work.

Dear Mike and group,
Your coments as to the correctness of the post was the BEST ever on letting
someone know about posting to the correct group.
What really upsets me are comments by other who FLAME the s**t  out of the
alleged offending poster. Yours is a classic communication skill to get the
person to "hear" what you have to say = sugar first then the supportive
comment. Keep up the good work  in coaching those who can use the coaching
tips.
Yours truly,
Tom Elliott

I find this group, with only a couple of exceptions, is pretty good at the
"polite" thing, better than most of the rest of Usenet.  After all, why
would I have flamed you?  :)

Good work, but your WAY TO CHEAP!. I've been doing the same for the last 18
years now and found that $100.00(US) and up is a very reasonable price to
most people.
Keep up the good work ( there are more photos in the world waiting to be
fixed for people wanting them than people wanting new ones ). 8-)

Great restorations.  But I have to agree with MStepelton that your price is too
low.  $100.00(US) and up is the going rate in the NYC area.  And what I think
you should be charging.

Except to me when I send you photos for retouching.
