About our Special Effects

Not all of our photos are perfect.  There are so many things that can go wrong that change a great photo into an average photo.  We want to help you turn those photos into works of art that are worthy of hanging on your walls.

After you upload your photo, you will have several special effects that you can apply.  We have chosen popular effects, but you are not limited to the ones we offer.  If you are looking to do something not on the list, we can do just about anything you want.  We recommend that you upload your image and purchase a special effect that is closest to your request.  Then in the “Special Instructions” tab, tell us exactly what you want.  Our staff will review your request and contact you with any questions.  If there is an extra charge, we will let you know that as well.

Subject Pop

Subject Pop

This may be one of the coolest special effects that we offer.  We can take an object in the image and leave the color as is.  All the other elements in the photo are turned to black and white.  As you can see in this photo, the one soccer player (football for the rest of the world) jumps off the page.  This effect works for nearly all possible photo situations.  It costs $29 and you’ll get a proof before we print.

Wrinkle Removal

Photo Wrinkle Removal

As you consider wrinkle removal do you think Phyllis Diller?  She has had fifteen plastic surgeries over the last 35 years.   Not that it’s important, but that’s a procedure nearly every two years.  Most of us don’t get our teeth cleaned that often.

If you have a great shot and would like us to remove (soften) your wrinkles, we can do it.  The results are fantastic.  The cost is $50 and there is no recovery time.  We’ll show you a proof before we print.

Posterize

Photo Posterizing

We can take any picture and apply the posterize special effect.  It would be considered a “cool” effect so you might want to take a pass on a nice family shot.  Sports and close-up facial shots work well for this effect.  The finished product will be very unique and fun.  The cost is $39 and we’ll show you a proof before we print.

Background Removal

Photo Background Removal

Remember that great mug shot of Nick Nolte?  Do you know what he was thinking?  Here is our guess,  “if it wasn’t for the cinder block jail wall in the background, this would be a great candid of me”.   Well Nick we can fix that for you.  For $25 bucks, we can get rid of the background and have that image sent to you ready to hang.  We’ll also show you a proof before we print

Photo Braces Removal

Photo Braces Removal

If we were in England, we wouldn’t offer this special effect.   What’s the smallest list in the world?  Orthodontists in England.  Ba-Da-Bum.    Braces aren’t that bad, but you may not want them in a great photo.  We can remove them for $25 as show you a proof before we print as well.

Photo Scar Removal

Remember the day when your older brother “accidentally” stuck out his leg and you tripped hitting your chin on edge of the table?  How can you forget?  You have to look at that scar every day in the mirror.  We can remove it so you don’t have to think about how much fun your brother used to be.  Scar removal is just $25 and we’ll show you a proof before we print.

Blemish Removal

Pimple Photo Removal

Zits are one of the worst things to happen to teenagers.  Just as you reach the age when self-image means everything, you get punished with pimples.   Fortunately, most of us outgrow them in a few years and replace them with wrinkles.  It would be a shame not to have any of those teenage photos with the funny little faux mustache or the big hair because of zits.  We’ll erase the pimples for $25 and show you a proof.

Sepia Photo Effect

Sepia Photo Effect

Sepia Photo Effect

Sepia is an industry term for creating an “old fashion” look.   Basically, a filter is applied to your photograph that will make it look like it was taken a hundred years ago.  Remember that last trip to Mexico after you’ve had too many tequilas?  Some guy dresses you in the sombrero, fake mustache  and poncho.  Another guy takes your photo with an antique camera.  Twenty minutes later, a couple million pesos lighter there you are looking like Pancho Villa – in Sepia of course.  We charge $15 USD for the sepia effect and show you a proof before we print.

Photo Cropping

Photo Cropping

Photo Cropping

Have a great picture, but your weird second cousin is passed out in the upper right corner.  No worries, we can crop the guy out for you.  Grandmothers are also terrible at taking pictures.  When they take a picture of the family, they think it’s important to get all your feet and the plane flying overhead into the shot.  We want faces, not birkenstocks.  Sorry Grandma.  We’ll crop Grandma’s image for free.  Just tell us in the Special Instructions tab what you want us to do and we will do it.  We’ll show you a proof before printing.

Color Boost Your Photo

Color Boost Photograph

You have taken a great shot and because of the lighting or some other reason, the photo is dull.  You probably didn’t know this, but we can color boost your photographs.  This will make the colors more vibrant, which is better for printing.  The best part, we will color boost your photo for free and show you a proof for approval!

Photo Date Stamp Removal

photo date stamp removalDate stamping is a love hate relationship.  You want to know when the picture was taken, but it ruins the shot.   You can live with it on a 4″ x 7″ photo print, but not when you want to hang it on your wall.  It’s also a pain to shut it on and off when you are using your camera.  Most people would have to consult the manual to figure it out and then the magic of the moment is gone.   Don’t worry.  We will remove your date stamps for free and show you a proof for approval!

Color Photo to Black & White

Photo Red Eye Removal

Without getting scientific, red eye is caused by the flash on your camera.  The camera companies have tried to minimize the effects with “pre-flash”, but the long delay it causes can ruin a great shot.  So what’s the solution?  Snapartwork.com of course.  We will remove red eye on all your photos for free and show you a proof for approval!  And if your kid has pink eye, we will take care of that too :)
