Frequently Given Answers
What is Photo Editing and Effects?
In photo editing and effects, you take a normal picture, whether taken at home or by a professional, and alter it using a variety of computer programs. Effects generally refers to adding things like 'glows' and 'lighting' as well as wings or other additions. Editing means you've altered what is already there: adjusting the shadow and light levels, altering the color balance, getting rid of red eyes, contrast and brightness, or getting rid of blemishes and unwanted objects.

How long have you been editing photos?
I have been using Photoshop to edit photos for about 10 years now. I started my education at City College of San Francisco and have continued to expand my knowledge by taking classes and just playing with the program on my own. I’ve started offering this service to the public only recently.

How much does photo editing and embellishment cost?
Good question! As each piece is customized to a person’s desires the amount of time put into it varies. As a result the price will vary. However all photos start off at $20.00. Look at the pricing page to get a better idea of the pricing involved.

How long does it take?
Generally you will get your first sample within a day or two of sending me your pictures. If you need it sooner than that it can be arranged, though there may be a slight increase in price.

Do I have to buy prints from you?
No. With buying one of my pieces you buy the right to print for PERSONAL PURPOSES from anywhere else. You may not print with the intention of selling a piece, however, without my permission.

How do I place an order?< br/>
First you will select three to four pictures that you really like. Preferably they will be full body shots or at least upper torso and head with decent resolution. These you will email to me in an attachment, or if you do not have them on your computer you can send them to me with a self-addressed stamped envelope. I will then scan it in. I will also let you know which picture I will be using and give you an idea of what I am going to do with it. If you like the idea let me know and I’ll get started.
< br/>Using Cell Phone pictures for photo embellishment is a bad idea. If you insist on them, I might be able to get something that will print out okay in wallet size but not bigger.
< br/>After I complete the piece I will send you a ‘sampled’ image for you to approve or not. If you want something changed simply let me know what it is and I will do so till you are satisfied. Do keep in mind that the price goes up with how much time I spend on a piece and I try to make sure before I start of some specifics like color scheme or theme.
< br/>When the piece is finished and you approve of it you will send me payment. Once payment is confirmed I will email you the master digital copy in 8x10, 5x7 and 4x6 format. I’ve found having them in these three separate sizes causes less cut-off at places like Wal-Mart or Walgreens. If you have ordered prints through me I will have you send me your mailing address and how many of each print you want. This will of course be included in the final price you pay.
