CreativePix is only able to fix digital replicas of your original images or negatives.
Generally, photos that are under-exposed (too dark) or over-exposed (too light) can be fixed. But be aware, that in severe cases, there might not be enough detail or colour density in the photo to restore the image back to normal levels. This makes it difficult or impossible to achieve a satisfactory result.
Provided that the picture grain can be matched with the camera angle, camera height, perspective and lighting from your source photo, then yes. This is by no means a simple operation. Unless the source photo is from the exact same set, on the same day, it is rare that perspectives and lighting can be matched perfectly from other images. No matter how much manipulation is done, the resulting repair will always look wrong.
Generally, this is possible. Less than acceptable results can occur when there is not enough of the surrounding photo to fill in the gaps of what is removed. For example, with a tightly cropped photo, if people or objects are removed from a side, there remains little or no parts of the background available to fill the empty space. A second photo showing more of the background from the same location can help in this kind of situation.
Sometimes there are occasions when a complete restoration is impossible or would be too time-consuming and costly to initiate. Below is a list of a few things that fall into that category. Even if you think your photos are beyond repair, I still recommend that you submit them for a free assessment. I may still be able to help, as I have been known to perform wonders!

Yes we do. We scan in your slides at a high resolution to obtain a high quality photo. We will then enlarge the scan to a picture size you prefer (4x6, 5x7, 8x10). If there are any adjustments or repairs needed after scanning the negative to digital photo, the cost will be extra.
Customers can pay using a credit or debit card via the PayPal secure payment platform. PayPal is one of the world’s leading and most secure online payment platforms and is very simple to use.
Unfortunately, due to banking security rules, cheques can no longer be accepted as payment for services, and credit card details can not be given over the phone. Online platforms such as PayPal provide a far more secure solution for payment.
Yes we do. If you prefer to send us money via Interac eTransfer from your bank, we can go over details for sending and receiving when it is time to pay.
Once your photo has been restored, an e-mail with a watermarked photo will be sent for you to validate. If you are happy with the result, we will send you an invoice and payment instructions. When payment is received, the watermark is removed and the final photo is emailed to you.
