The Art Stop is located on the Arbor level of the University Center which is convenient to the campus community. The work will be done using computer digital imaging to enhance original photographs. Old black and white pictures can be colorized, people can be superimposed into prints they did not originally pose for, and tears, rips or missing parts can be repaired, says Pim Ormrod, Art Stop manager.
Customers can have new negatives made, or put their pictures on CD ROM or computer disk.
Computer digital imaging is faster and the end result better than the previous method which only doctored photographed copies of a damaged print. The old process had to be repeated several times before the new photograph looked as clean as possible. However, the new technique actually restores the original photograph itself. Art Stop prefers that customers wanting this service call in advance before visiting the shop. For more information, contact Pim Ormrod at 743-5252.
