Editing and Retouching
Your Photographs, Elevated
I specialize in making photos look their very best through editing, processing, retouching, or whatever you call the work between when you capture an image and when you present it to the world.
I work on projects small and large—from helping you put your best photo on a wall to producing world-class exhibitions for museums and galleries. I offer a range of services to meet most needs. Professional and amateur clients rely on my ability to make their photos look their best on a museum wall or to enjoy in a home.
I offer a variety of services to bring out the best in your photos, from careful editing, to file preparation, to AI enhancements. Every service uses my artistic judgement and extensive industry experience. My most commonly-requested services are listed below. If you don’t see what you need, please contact me so we can discuss your project.
Master File Creation
The core of my approach is to make a Master File that makes your photo look its best. Each aspect of your photograph is fine-tuned to produce brilliant results. You’ll receive a layered Photoshop file that can be used for any purpose and a flattened ready-to-print file with overall sharpening.
$125 per photo for up to 100mp files or 12,500 px wide drum scans.
Additional Services
Museum Level Sharpening
Sharpening a file is an art, and it can take as much time as Master File creation. I use a complicated, multi-step process that includes Topaz AI upscaling to increase resolution and maximize sharpness to produce the finest results I am capable of.
16x24: $40- Recommended for 24mp and smaller files including cropped files
20x30: $50 - Recommended for 45mp and smaller files
24x36: $65 - Recommended for 45mp and smaller files
30x40/40x50: $125 - Recommended for 45mp and smaller files
Basic AI Upscale/ Improvement
Most photos can be improved by Topaz AI with upscaling, slight noise reduction, and sharpening. I apply this overall to the photo without quality control checks. It will be better than not using it, but not as good as my Museum Level Sharpening service.
16x24 and smaller: $15
20x30 to 24x36: $30
larger than 24x36: $40
Overall Sharpening
Every photo needs to be sharpened. This provides a “good enough” overall sharpening. Sharpening is included with Basic AI upscale/ Improvement
$7 per file
Film/ Drum Scan Makeover
Film photos can be significantly improved through careful use of Topaz AI tools to increase sharpness and resolution. “Basic” includes overall application of AI. “Advanced” includes masking to fine tune the results for each area of the photograph.
35mm scans to 7,000 pixels wide: $40 basic / $80 advanced
Medium and large format scans to 12,000 pixels wide: $75 basic / $125 advanced
File Delivery
Customers will be supplied with completed files from all services. I do not archive your photos, so you are responsible for storing and backing up the returned files.
