THE ARTIST
Having two decades of experience working with photography, art, and digital imaging technology, Jenn Cohen has now created Facsimile. An integral small business to help you preserve, restore, and make like copies of your precious memories, historical artifacts, and artwork.
An artist with formal training and a Masters in Fine Art from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, Jenn understands the precious and delicate nature of irreplaceable heirlooms, photographs, transparencies, and artwork. She deeply respects and is proficient in all aspects of this work. From the initial communication with you about your needs, to the digitizing, restoring, printing, and archiving processes.
Jenn personally and solely handles each project you submit- assessing and customizing service for your needs. Your items are well cared for in her hands, whether it is an original work or a digital file, and she is especially passionate about communicating directly with you regarding your order from start to finish.
She truly enjoys her work and providing this service.
It is a gift to be able to restore damaged, precious images. It is a gift to bring color and new sense of joy into a black and white photo. It is a gift to create digital files of photographs or film for families or organizations to share online from a distance. It is a gift to print and share new photographs. And the greatest gift is to witness the excitement and emotion that can emerge from customers when their precious items take on new life.
EMAILING YOUR ORDER
Emailing digital files is welcome, and for some the preferred or only way to submit your restoration, colorizing, or printing order.
Maybe you:
-downloaded a family photo from an online genealogy site
-can scan your photos from home
-can get your photos scanned by a professional local to you
Basic scanning tips:
-Scan 5"x7" (12.7x18cm) and smaller photos at 600 dpi (dots per inch)
-Scan larger photos at 300 dpi
-Scan photos and negatives the size of a postage stamp at 1200+ dpi
-Tif files are great; jpg, pdf, and png acceptable.
It is ideal to work with a nice scan or photo file, however sometimes all one has is a small file and that is okay.
Along with your photo files, please share your goals or questions through the form.
