    It depends on where you are whether you will get a lot, a lot is about passing trade for me, every once in a while I will do one and the client will tell all their friends so I could get a few days work from it.

    I know of one place that would charge say 50 upwards for a restoration that I would say would be average.

    I dont charge much for it at all tbh, I base it on my time spent really, I charge for the prints and then I charge a standard 5 on top of that, if it takes say more than 20 mns or so I will charge 10 for the work but it depends. Averaging at 25 for an 8 x 10 or 30 for 2 5x7 The odd time I will have someone who would want a number of prints and spend 80 or more getting these prints, then I would pretty much waive the editing fee. I like to look after my clients as they then come back to me but I would by no means make a full time wage out of it.

    It depends really, the average one will only take me 10mns max as I am so used to doing it.
