“I recently used SM Editing Services to salvage old VCR and DVD footage onto USB. They’re efficient, affordable and the quality was great! Would highly recommend them. Being able to watch these old memories is precious and having digital copies is so space savvy” - Amanda on Facebook

With all the flooding happening in the area I thought I'd take the opportunity to donate to local charities for flood relief, I will be donating 10% of all orders placed until the 6/04/2022.

Take the opportunity to save your precious home videos and photos and help out people in need :)

Photo restoration is also available for those who have suffered damage to their physical images in the flooding with a further 10% off.

A beautiful photo captured on a slide that over time had some serious discolouration.

Step 1. Capture the image onto digital - handling with extreme care - I use soft cotton gloves for handling any and all photo's, slides and negatives (and when repairing tapes)

Step 2. A digital sweep through removing any dust and hairs that have managed to make their way onto the photo - I do this digitally as this ensures no damage is done to the physical image. This process evolves zooming in close to the image and manually removing the blemishes from the image

Step 3. Remove any jpg artefacts and fix any minor damage that appear on the image. Much like the dust and hair removal this process involves zooming in and manually correcting the image, repairs are completed at this same level as this ensures the quality remains once the image is taken to a full scale.

Step 4. Colour adjustments, correcting levels and applying filters as needed to bring life back into the photo, this is where a lot of the "wow" factor comes from as this takes for example the red tint out of the image and allows me to add a pop to the original colours in the image.

Optional Step 5. Image upscaling and HDR upscaling - these services aren't for every image but are available upon request as the results can vary and aren't always worth it.

**Covid Safe Collections and Drop off**

As cases continue to rise in the area we have made the decision to make contact less drop off and collections available, this is in an attempt to keep our family and the community safe.

We continue to operate as normal, thank you for your continued support

From slide to digital with colour tweeks and basic editing, taking old photos and bringing them onto a digital format, then bringing them back to life is always a rewarding experience!

Just a reminder that I'm open tomorrow, closed Saturday and Sunday then open from Monday onwards :)

WANTED - MINI DV CAMCORDER

I've had a lot of interest in converting Mini DV tapes into digital, unfortunately there is no VHS adapter to take these tapes, they require either a Mini DV player or a Camcorder that is still functioning (play back function).

This is a service that I am really keen to offer but these cameras are often not in great condition and can be expensive to get working again - if you or anyone you know have a Mini DV camcorder that they'd be happy to part with I would make it worth the while.

09/10/2021

Along with photo editing services I am also starting to offer video editing and restoration services too, starting with VHS to DVD/digital - with HD upscaling included in my base pricing, starting from $19.95 for a standard 90 minute tape onto a DVD.

*I am also offering optional digital enhancements, including but not limited to, Full HD and 4K upscaling, quality enhancement and chapters

06/10/2021

Some minor tweaks can make some major differences - before and after enhancements!

Request - make it look more realistic.
