Beaverton, OR (PRWEB) March 12, 2004 -- FixMyPhotos.com provides digital retouching of facial blemishes, wrinkles, acne, and red eye, in addition to full color & contrast optimization. Behind the scenes, a team of skilled graphic artists, using the best computer graphics programs, retouch each image by hand. Customers upload their photos directly to FixMyPhotos.com and receive the finished files the same way, typically in a day or less. The service costs range from only $1.49 to $4.99 while other online retouching services usually cost many times that and can take a week or two to complete.
Americans took more digital photos than film last year," says PicFix founder and CEO John Hoefer. More than 30 billion images were shot in 2003 and that volume is expected to grow at 140% per year through 2005. As a professional photographer, I want to help people create the best possible images. One of the beauties of digital photography is that it makes this kind of retouching possible. FixMyPhotos.com makes it fast and affordable as well!"
The unusual combination of high technology and old-fashioned craft skills promises attractive pricing for standard orders, with highly competitive rates for custom work. PicFix is currently in discussions regarding partnering with major consumer and business-to-business users of digital photos.
A recent FixMyPhotos.com customer submitted eight everyday photos of her family for optimizing. The pictures were taken at several different locations and under a variety of lighting conditions. A couple of the pictures were quite dark, some were off color, one had red eye present in a flash picture, the parents features included some age lines and dark under-eye circles, and one of the children had typical teenage skin blemishes. When the final pictures were delivered back to the customer less than a day later, all pictures had consistent color and contrast, and every flaw had been corrected in a way that appeared completely natural, not appearing ‘plastic or retouched. All the photos could then be displayed next to each other in a beautiful composition.
The most important element of a photograph is the eye of the beholder," Hoefer continues. By using artists instead of automated retouching algorithms, we can go that one step further to please the customer."
