Question and Answer Page:

The following are answers to questions that we commonly get asked regarding the following subjects:

How do I calculate Pricing?

To calculate the subtotal for a single photograph, just use the EXAMPLE price list below. Please note that the prices below are not real and only serve to show you how to calculate the pricing. The valid prices are listed with the photo in the store. 

When you purchase multiple copies of the same photo, the price goes down as you can see in the example shown below.

First 4X6 $19.00
Each additional 4X6 $10.00
   
First 5X7 $21.00
Each additional 5X7 $12.00
   
First 8X10 $28.00
Each additional 8X10 $18.00
   
First 11X14 $39.00
Each additional 11X14 $29.00
   
Retouching (per first photo) $10.00
   
Shipping $4.00

Each different photograph starts a new cost calculation.  For example, if you order one 5X7 of Photo 1, three 4X6 copies of Photo 2, and you want retouching on Photo 2, the calculation will be as follows:

Photo 1 first copy $21.00
Photo 2 first copy $19.00
Photo 2 second copy $10.00
Photo 2 third copy $10.00
Retouching for photo2 $10.00
Shipping (entire order) $4.00
Tax

<Included>

Total $74.00

What does retouching include?

Generally, photographs can always use a little touching up.  This includes color adjustments, contrast, cropping, and other minor changes.  We always make minor changes to the photograph before printing, free of charge.

Sometimes, however, customers request major changes to photographs in order to remove background clutter, remove unwanted objects, or touch up the photo subject.  If you would like major changes to your photographs, then the retouching fee as noted above will apply.  In all cases, we will contact you to let you know exactly what can or cannot be done before we charge you for it.  Please use the comments section on the order form to explain what you would like done with as much detail as possible.

The retouching fee includes the work to make the desired modifications to ONE photograph.  When the changes are made, all of the copies printed from that photograph include the changes.  Hence, only one retouching fee per photograph.  Each separate photograph--that is, each photograph with an individual ID number--that you want retouched requires a separate retouching fee.


Do you have custom photograph sizes?

Yes, we regularly perform custom work.  Please call us or use the response form on the Contact page for further information.
