Photo Restorers

Hi all, was wondering if any of our Melbourne peeps could recommend some-one to restore some old photo's?

BIL has a few old photo's from his parents and would like to get them restored. I could probably photo shop them, but won't be the same as a proper job if anyone knows of some-one I would really appreciate it. :-x

hi Jen

In the past I have just taken them to a real Photo Shop. I havent had any done for ages, but I have had enlargements of an original bw photo done recently, just cost a few dollars (under$10)

most of the owners of Photo Shops love to talk old photos with you, just pop into one with your photos and see what they suggest.

Thanks Lyndal. I was hoping to get the originals restored if possible. Unfortunately the real Photo shops are becoming few and far between, there is one is Mornington, he did a fantastic job of copying some in April, after my FIL passed away, sadly he is closing the shop.

I think the "proper" stores are very few and far between now.

Hope you are doing well, been a long time since our last lunch in Croydon!
