Before we begin

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about timing, material care, professional photo restoration, web projects, video digitization, 360° tours and software QA.

01 How does a project with Carmen Digital begin?

We start with a short conversation about your goal, available materials, audience, and ideal timing. Then we propose a scope, workflow, and clear next steps.

02 How can I request a quote?

Send us a description, references, and quantities through the form or WhatsApp. Quotes are clear, organized by stage, and come with no obligation.

03 How long does delivery take?

Timing depends on the service and condition of the source material. Your quote includes a realistic window, and we confirm any change before moving ahead.

04 How do you protect my files and privacy?

We use your files only for the agreed work, limit access to what the project requires, and coordinate delivery or deletion of backups with you.

05 What is included in a web design project?

We can cover strategy, structure, bilingual design, responsive development, foundational content, and launch. The final scope is shaped around your business.

06 How is photo restoration priced?

Pricing is based on the photograph’s actual condition, the amount of missing information and the complexity of the work. Upload a clear image for a preliminary assessment; if you are not sure how damaged it is, simply select that option and we will evaluate it.

07 Is photo restoration performed automatically with AI?

No. AI may assist with analysis or specific repair tasks, but every image is reviewed and refined to preserve identity, facial features, context and the character of the original. We correct or reject artificial details rather than treating an automatic result as finished work.

08 What files are included with a restored photograph?

You receive a high-resolution TIFF master for preservation and future printing, plus an optimized copy for everyday sharing. The files are delivered through a private download link, not on a USB drive.

09 Do you preserve the physical original during restoration?

Yes. The physical photograph is handled carefully and never altered; restoration is completed on a high-resolution digital copy.

10 Which video formats can you digitize?

We currently digitize VHS, VHS-C and Hi8 videotapes and extract video from compatible, already-recorded DVDs. We do not process Betamax tapes. If you are unsure which format you have, send us a photograph so we can confirm it before you bring in the material.

11 How does a 360° virtual tour work?

We plan capture points, photograph the space, connect each view, and publish a navigable experience that you can share or embed on your website.

12 What does the software QA service review?

We independently validate critical flows, functional requirements, relevant compatibility, regressions and user experience across enterprise systems, web platforms, mobile apps or video games. Findings include evidence to support acceptance, release or correction decisions. Cybersecurity audits, source-code reviews and specialist certifications are not automatically included.
