Portrait Colourisation
My experience with Lucent Imaging was outstanding. James and Korske are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I was very impressed with the quality of their work and will definitely be back.
Very accommodating, fast service and great retouching. Besides the price a little high (although needing decent amount of fixing) I’m very happy. Will use them again.
Awesome experience, outstanding quality with my prints, The advice Korske gave really made the difference. Without Lucent Imaging, I would have ended up with mediocre prints. Definitely a repeat customer.
Can’t recommend Lucent highly enough. Printing and paper quality is beautiful and the service is second to none. Korske really went above and beyond to help me create the finished product I wanted. Highly recommended.

“Grandad passed nearly 30 years ago and all we’ve had is a scratchy / damaged black and white photo of him in his RAAF uniform. At every step the staff at Lucent Imaging were informative and more than willing to make minor technical adjustments with the image, leading to an incredible result. The portrait now has pride of place in our home. We are very happy customers indeed!”
