    You just need to ask yourself two questions, how long will it take and how much do you want to make per hour? Generally people pay fairly well for this kind of work as it's a specialist service.

    Per image is difficult because some images take longer than others but in the end 20 mins per image at $5 an image or $15 per hour is the same thing. $5 seems really cheap to me, I'd say you could get at least $10-$15, it's better to go in higher and be prepared to come down in price than to go in too low.
