A website is your first, and many times your only form of exposure in for your company, product or idea. Your website needs to be bold, dynamic, to stand out from all of the other template-based sites. It needs to be able to creatively express visually what you are offering in an eye-catching, appealing, user-friendly way.

Photo Touch-up

Old photos tend to fade, or turn red over time. Sometimes liquids are spilled on them, they get torn or the photo albums’ glue takes bits off when you remove them. This is why I do photo touch-up. I can remove the red, colorize black and white, fix the tears and stains, remove the red-eye, crop out the superfluous, and even make new photos look old.

Photo touching is just one of the many services I can do to make your images stand out.

A well done images looks professional. When your images look that good, your clients see it. They realize you will focus that same kind of attention on their job. This is something no other coder can accomplish – only a graphic designer. While I don’t get many projects requesting this task, it’s one of my most favorite things to do. If you want it done. If you are even considering it, give me a chance to prove to you exactly why it should be done.

From Adding Color to Taking it Away

Sepia tone your images for that perfect Western themed party or wedding invitation.

Looking for that old western look?

A western theme wedding or party?

I can do that!

I’ve had a blast created custom greeting cards for friends and family over the years. I write custom poems to go in each one. I’ve even created custom western wedding invitations and thank you cards for clients. Sometimes they want color, sometimes they want the images done in sepia tone. I’ve cleaned up old stained photos for memorial services. Cropped and enlarged images for slideshows. I’ve added watermarks to photographer’s pictures.

Photo Manipulation

It’s not just for fun… although it can be!

Photo manipulation is the combination of two or more photos to create one. This process usually takes the best features from two or more similar photos to create something with all of the best features. Like the below: Two before pictures of the children, one that was tall and cut out the other children, the other with no smile.

All the kids but no smile...

Portrait with no kids

All the kids with the smile, one great picture!

Photo Manipulation for Advertisements

Another great example is this photo for a satellite phone advertisement in a worldwide hunting magazine. Obviously we wanted to showcase the phone as well as the trophy, but the two images we received either overlapped one or the other. Plus, the scanner put a line right through the middle and the logo on the phone was washed out in the sun. So we combined them two photos to make the best of both worlds.

Trophy covered their faces

After: Trophy, faces, phone and logo!

Photo manipulation can be fun, but it can also be incredibly handy. Put green grass over winter yards. Insert a blue sky where a rain cloud was. Perfect a picture that was mediocre and make it amazing. A simple photo manipulation can help your website header stand out. This technique can modify your book cover to represent so much more.
