The Picture
You captured it, actually managed to record it onto film. That perfect picture that holds a memory for a lifetime. In a single frame is captured forever the look of surprise, the feeling of joy, the essence of wonderment. It's The Picture. Except for one thing...

The Problem
In the time it took for the shutter to close and forever freeze the second in time, there was the blink of an eye. Literally. Or a gust of wind picked up the perfectly combed hair; a fly chose that exact moment to land on sister's shoulder.

Or maybe the moment was captured in perfect condition, perhaps the damage lies in a rip or scratch or bit of water damage. Now what? The moment is passed, it's days, perhaps weeks or years, later that you notice. But so long after the fact, when no reshoot is possible, what's to be done?

The Solution
There are solutions for such instances as these, and many more.

Take, for example, the first set of images at the right. And to answer the unspoken question perhaps forming in the back of your mind, yes the second image really is taken from the first. The challenge in this image, as you may be able to see, was that the three girls being posed were partially blocked by the fourth girl's arm. To correct this, the errant arm was digitally removed and the image cropped to nicely showcase the original three subjects.

Other such manipulations are possible to digitally repair physical flaws, such as scratches and water damage. Even rips and tears can be patched and returned to a like-new state.

But perhaps your image isn't damaged. Maybe it just lacks that special something to make it stand out. In the second set of images, the color picture was nice, but to really make it spectacular, it was turned black and white and given colored pops of accent color, in this case, in the form of colored nail polish.

There is no end to the array of options, including color effects on black and white images, such as the one to the right, sepia aging to modern color photographs, and fades from color to black and white.

But perhaps, against all odds, your image isn't damaged and already relates the artistic mood and feel that you want. There's just something missing. Or someone.

In the last set of images, the photographer was unable to place herself in the picture and snap the picture at the same time. So two images were taken and later combined to form the final, in which the photographer stands next to her friends.

For every problem, there is a solution, and we can help you find it, leaving you with an image worthy of holding the memory it shows.
