Our Photo Enhancement Services include two separate charges: 1) The cost of the photo enhancement technique we apply to your photo (many are listed above); plus 2) The cost of the digital print we make for you. Cost of the print will vary depending upon the size of the print and the media used. For example, canvas is more expensive thn regular paper. In many cases we recommend, or even require the use of proof prints before shipping the final print. We charge $3 for the approx. 8x10" proof print. Proof prints let you see exactly what you are getting before committing to an expensive print.
