So in general this company does decent work if all you want to do is just show off a shiny photograph that kind of looks like new-ish. They delivered the work timely however it did not meet my expectations nor were they able to honor any requests after 3 attempted revisions. I'm especially disappointed after I paid extra to have their most experienced artist work on it. *Note if you can afford it, pay for the unlimited revisions offer during checkout. Everyone's experience will be different dependent on which artist is working on your photo, so you might need revisions. Regarding the photograph: 1) There were missed items that should be blatantly obvious to anyone who has any experience doing photo restoration. Missed defects, scratches, dust that kind of thing in really obvious areas. This tells me the artist that worked on my photo probably rushed it and and wasn't paying much attention. 2) The artist that worked on my photo didn't do a very good job with edges in repaired areas. They're overly blurry and more care could have been done to avoid that using the proper tools. 3) The artist went way overboard on tools that add shine and depth to subjects. So much to the point that everyone looks fake and the scene looks nothing like what it should. No photo from 1960s looked like what was produced. This part is something that can vary a lot between artists (assuming they're not using AI). 4) The part that really bugs me is the file format they insist on sending. It is like trying to drag a cat through a river to get the raw files (still don't have them). The first delivery was a highly compressed JPG file. It scares me that they even thought that would be an acceptable thing. The second revision they gave me a PNG file that was OK but I have my suspicions about what source file they used. The third revision was back to being a compressed JPG file. I sent them a super high quality, lossless TIFF file with 600 ppi for digital archiving. I was hoping I'd get the same quality back for future post processing and archival purposes on my side of things. Sadly, they couldn't deliver this. So while I would recommend them for basic photo touchups and making things look fancy if that is all you need, I would not recommend them if you need something for archival purposes and want to stay true to the original as much as possible. MemoryCherish is great at communicating with customers and being timely with their work. I'm awaiting the results of an additional revision so hopefully it'll turn out better.

Ryan, we deeply apologize for the disappointment that you experienced with our photo restoration services. We strive to provide quality work and excellent customer service, so we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations. We understand your concerns regarding the missed defects, scratches, and dust in the photograph. All that could explain that is that one of our artists did sloppy work on your photo which is not acceptable - we will make sure to discontinue working with them. Our team of experienced artists takes great care to pay attention to detail when restoring photos. Our tools are designed to be precise and capture even the smallest of details when improving photographs. Additionally, all of our artists go through extensive training so they can use those tools correctly and efficiently. In regards to the blurry edges, we acknowledge that this is an issue and we will be sure to communicate it with our team so that it can be addressed accordingly. We assure you that all of our artists can easily fix these issues with clone stamping tools as part of their workflow when restoring photos. We regret that you were not satisfied with how much shine was added to the subjects in the photograph; however, it is difficult for us to gauge exactly how much shine should be present without seeing a reference or example photograph beforehand. Moreover, since each artist has their own style and techniques, some may apply more than others while working on a project. We apologize if this caused any confusion when approving revisions on your project. Finally, we understand why you want raw files for archival purposes; we will be happy to provide that to you & get back to you with the raw files shortly via email. Again, we thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your experience with us as well as your constructive feedback – it helps us become better at what we do!

Sent a photo to the company and did not receive a finished product after 10 days. I reached out to the company and customer service was excellent. They were able to complete the order within my desired timeline and were very responsive.
