FAQs
-
Images with clear subjects, emotional weight, or meaningful moments tend to shine the most. Phone photos, travel series, portraits, older iPhone images, and candid shots all respond beautifully to restoration and soft polish.
-
Light retouching, color balance, exposure improvement, skin tone harmonizing, and a gentle editorial finish. The Black + White add-on creates a refined monochromatic version with depth and mood.
-
The Refresh elevates what is already present. Think clarity, tone, warmth, and shape. The original feeling stays intact. The photo simply carries more life.
-
The Refresh works best on photos that have good structure. Heavy reconstruction or artistic manipulation belongs in a fuller retouching service. If a photo isn’t a good fit, I’ll let you know right away, and ask for alternatives.
-
Absolutely. The Refresh finally lets you print the image you’ve always wanted to display.

Quality depends on the resolution of the photo you upload, so higher-resolution files with light to medium issues will give you the strongest results. -

Before You Upload —
Choose the photo that already means something to you.
A favorite portrait, a memory with someone you love, a travel series, or an image you’ve always wished looked a little more clearer.
Natural light tends to respond beautifully. Screenshots, older iPhone photos, and candid snaps are also okay.
Upload the highest resolution version you have.
If you’re unsure, send your best guess.
