Pricing philosophy

Clear starting points. Final quotes based on the actual image.

Restoration pricing varies with damage, missing detail, resolution and requested output. Creative work varies with concept complexity and revision scope. These are structure examples—not final published prices.

Restoration

Suggested pricing structure

Use “starting at” pricing only after you decide your production time and costs. Until then, the site can invite free assessments.

From $—

Minor dust, scratches, fading and tonal correction.

  • Basic cleanup
  • Contrast / tone
  • Digital delivery

Complex Restoration

Custom

Severe loss or reconstruction requiring careful manual judgment.

  • Extensive structural work
  • Multiple review points
  • Custom quote
Creative & motion add-ons

Services that can stack.

Colorization

Optional after restoration. Price by complexity, research and number of subjects.

Animation / Memory Reel

Price by clip length, number of photos, narration and editing complexity.

Portrait Art

Price by single subject, multiple subjects, custom environment and merchandise adaptations.

Important commerce rule

Price the whole fulfillment chain.

For prints, shirts, hoodies and mugs, retail price should cover the production partner’s base cost, shipping, transaction fees, failed-order/reprint allowance, taxes where applicable and your design/profit margin. Do not copy mockup prices into production until those costs are confirmed.

Free image assessment before quoting.

This is the simplest way to be fair to both the customer and the studio while your pricing model matures.
