Challenged Photo becomes Great Gift



Mary Ann has been such a great cus­tomer through the years.
She needed a gift for her niece, who’d just grad­u­ated this past June, and she’d cap­tured the moment with her phone cam­era. But with­out a flash, the image was dark, and not sharp.

So she thought to ask her expert photo bud­dies at Memento Press if we could do some­thing nice with her photo.
Kath­eryn went to work on the image, bright­en­ing it over­all, bright­en­ing her niece’s smile espe­cially, and bring­ing more sharp­ness to the image over­all. She also shifted the color to a more pleas­ing and nat­ural hue.

From Challenged Photo to Great Gift - Prints on Metal

Memento Retouched, then Printed on Metal.
Chal­lenged Phone Photo becomes Great Gift!

In the image above [click photo for LARGE view], you see a so-so print on a home printer, on the left.
And on the right, you see a beau­ti­ful Metal Print, with Easel back!
The whole thing cost Mary Ann just $45, includ­ing the retouch work.

Not bad, com­pared to the cost of an 8×10 print, along with a decent frame. Not to men­tion the time saved not hav­ing to stick the photo in the frame!

Thank you Mary Ann!!

    Josh, What you have made avail­able to me is remark­able. I have not viewed any VHS in 15 years. A large per­cent­age of the loved ones & friends in my tapes are gone. These tapes cap­ture some of the years of my life I was the hap­pi­est I’ve have known. Expe­ri­enced full range of emo­tions includ­ing laugh­ing out loud often.

    Oh my gosh.  I finally looked at the tape you tran­scribed to DVD of Michael in his first 8 months.  I have never seen this footage before. It was mind-blowing. I was glued to my com­puter for 2 hours! So I found some more tapes. I clearly need to bring in the rest. Thanks Katheryn.

    Thanks again and so you know, you and your staff are so incred­i­bly gra­cious, and the cus­tomer ser­vice that each of you offers is so sin­cere and spec­tac­u­lar. The cus­tom cal­en­dars have been a hit across the com­pany, THANK YOU!

    Thanks so much for all you did to put the book together, and make it look so great! My par­ents were extremely touched, and were very impressed with the work on the book.

    My wife thinks I’m a hero for putting our China trip book together in time for Christ­mas. Lit­tle does she know how easy it was.

    I used my Memento Book to pro­pose to Naomi– and she accepted! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great work from long dis­tance, and thanks for rush­ing the job. The next time we’re in San Fran­cisco, I will bring Naomi by to say “Hi!”

    Our mother loved her book. We gave it to her as a fam­ily. She kept it by her bed until the day she passed away. We wouldn’t have got­ten it done in time with­out you guys!

    It was the best gift I ever gave. It was easy, and it cost less than some other gifts I’ve given that had less impact.
