Reviews and Testimonials from Our Clients – 2013

Here are some of the emails that we received from clients in 2013.  They were very happy with our photo retouching and repair of damaged old photographs, and you will be too!

DISCLAIMER: These testimonials are generally representative of what our clients write, although many or most clients don’t comment either positively or negatively. Just a handful of clients have sent complaints. We did not provide any discounts, freebies or other incentives to the people who sent the praise shown below, and we do not request testimonials from our clients…but we are happy to receive them!

  • From a client with faded, damaged photographs of ancestors: They look great. Send me the invoice and I will pay with pay pal. Many thanks
  • This professional photographer sent a photo of a plate of food, and he needed it retouched quickly: Looks great Miles, please invoice me! Many Thanks!
  • From a client in Spain (yes, we speak Spanish): gracias por el buen trabajo. Contaré contigo para futuros trabajos. Un abrazo
  • From a Texas client: That’s perfect.
  • From a client who sent a family photo for restoration: Looks ok to me Miles.Send me the invoice.
  • From a new client who sent some badly faded color photographs: Thanks Miles, These look good. I will pay [with] Pay Pal.
  • We recreated a photograph for this professional photographer. His client had torn into little pieces, and then had second thoughts: You guys do phenomenal work! Quote me if you wish.
  • From a financial planner needing a headshot for a company website: You’re amazing!  It looks great! I just want to tell you that I’m so grateful you are still around, still in business.  I am really glad I found you however many years ago it was that I first contacted you and I am grateful for the service you provide.  For this situation, I’ve wanted a new website photo for over a year now.  But we live in a remote area…and to get dressed up and “made up” and haul into town just for a photo to be taken would be a good half-day endeavor.  In an already taxed schedule, it just has not been in the cards.  So I thought about it last week and decided that with the fancy digital SLR camera I hardly use anymore and a steady hand behind the shutter, how hard could it be to ask my husband or daughter to just shoot away?!  Especially if I could then get you to make it look nice?  Got the top half all fixed, wore shorts on the bottom, went into our backyard in front of the nicest [background], and had them just snap away!  Granted, I had to organize the distance, zoom, etc…. but in the end, I think it’s a better result than the photo I already had on the site. You made it look perfect and I appreciate it!
  • This client sent an old photograph for restoration. A part of the original photo was gone; we re-created it: It’s amazing, Miles! Thanks so much. Will be waiting for your invoice.

  • From a Norwegian client: Your work is as usual brilliant…[T]he work you people do is is consistently excellent, the preservation of old photographs is vital to genealogists as myself. Without experts like you, these images would be lost forever. You could easily charge more for your work than you do. In Norway we’re used to prices that would give people from abroad nightmares…My compliments to you and your staff. This was, indeed, a real challenge, but the final result is excellent.
  • From a professional photographer, after he received the proofs of two corporate-style portraits: Looks great Miles, I’ll fwd to client for final approval but I don’t anticipate them having a problem with it. [He was right, his client liked them.]
  • From a client: It’s perfect, Please invoice.
  • From a returning client: Looks terrific!! Thank you. Please send the link to pay. You guys really rock.
  • From another returning client: Perfect in every way. Nice job.
  • From a professional photographer who wasn’t satisfied with his own Photoshopping (R) results: Miles, thank you!  Above and beyond the call of duty.  I will forward this to my client.  My looks similar but [comparison of results].  Bravo!
  • From a photo restoration client: Thanks Miles, I have been comparing between the old and new and it looks good to me!
    From a client who needed a photo retouched in a hurry: Thanks for the quick turn on this – much appreciated.
  • From a businessman who uses our services:  Looks great as always! That was quick!
  • A review left on a website from a client: The restoration done on my mothers old, worn, wrinkled, black and white baby picture was excellent! It had been ripped in half and taped together long ago and the tape had yellowed. The rip was right over her lips. You can’t tell there was ever any damage! Miles gave great communication and it was done a lot quicker than I had anticipated. And what a fantastic value! Other photo restoration places wanted a week or longer and $200! Thanks, Miles and 399Retouch!
  • From a client: Yes, that is fine.  You are good!
  • From a client who wanted to “look like a Victoria’s Secret model” (Remember: They are Photoshopped.): Hi Miles- IT LOOKS FABULOUS!!
  • From a newlywed who asked for a special effect on a wedding photograph: I really like the spot focus one. 🙂 its perfect! Thank you so much for all your hard work on the photo. Its looks amazing and I really appreciate it 🙂
  • From a Scandinavian client who sent some older photographs for restoration: Perfection. You deliver the best results again. Just one little thing I’d like you to fix: [a small smudge that we accidentally missed] When that’s fixed, those two pictures will be better than they were 60 years ago 🙂  And I really mean that. [We fixed the smudge.]

Try us, and let us show you how we can improve your photographs! Your satisfaction is guaranteed…if you don’t love the result, we won’t send you a bill and you don’t owe anything!
