#Note - please make sure your precious photographs are well protected in the postal system by using something like stiff cardboard in a padded envelope. I can only copy and restore photographs up to 10 x 8 inches (25.4 x 20.4 cm) in size.

Extra copies & enlargements (P&P included)
You may wish extra copies or enlargements prepared at the same time. The size of the enlargement is dependent on the loss of quality as it is enlarged. The photo will become more grainy and blurred as it gets bigger. I will make it as large as possible while still being of acceptable quality. Typically I can make it between two and four times the area of the original.

Up to size
6" X 4"   -   £3.00
7" X 5"   -   £3.50
8" X 6"   -   £4.00
10" X 8" -   £4.50
Also customized sizes to suit your needs.
