Can any one assist me. I have copies of old photos which I have had copied using the Kodak photo centre at the chemist. I want them to be taken to poster size and the operator tells me that they can't take the photos any bigger than 8x10 as they will lose definition. Can anyone suggest where I can get them copied to a larger size and roughly how much it will cost, as I am having them copied for the Historical Society so costs are important. TIA Helen

Hi Helen, Unfortunately it lookslike you need to access the original old photos. These can be scanned by a professional scanning company using hi-res drum scanning, which will pichk up greater resolution. Even then they will be grainy as the originals will not contain the same definition as photos taken today. I have a photo of my mother and grandmother which has been enlarged from an original old photo and it is quite sharp. The only other consideration is how large is your wallet. Hi-res scanning and reproduction is not inexpensive.
