Level 1 Restoration.... Barring the rips and tears and a fading of the sepia, this example is relatively intact. £15-20 would be the price for a restoration of this type.
Level 2... A large part of the image is in a considerably poor state and needs rebuilding... £20-25.
Level 3... Heavy damage, areas need constructing from scratch and fading is uneven. This photo requires a complete overhaul... £25-30.
Alteration... The cost of any alteration is dependant
on the extent of the work involved.
As an example here we have removed
all signs of clutter, the cigarette has been
removed and the whole colour definition
has been enhanced for a much improved
finish...
Alterations of this type:
£15-20.
Key improvements have been carried out below. The mountains wanted to be the focal point but the central image of the water tap distracted the eye. So we started with the removal of that distraction and then repalced the sky entirely, while adjusting the light on the mountain top to enhance the new focal point.
