i figured this forum would know how i could get this done, so ill ask here.

i want to copy a picture that was taken of me in 1997 so i can give the copy to the other person in the picture, because it is her favorite picture of us together,
and she had a copy, but her dad may have thrown it out, so i was wondering, other than scanning it and printing it out on an 8.5" x 11" piece of printer paper
how else would i make a copy? also i only have a $20 printer so hopefully i can do this at a kodak shop or something.

also how much would this cost?

The only way I know how to make a copy is to actually scan it. I've no experience with doing this sort of thing. But one of my aunts took a small photo she had and got it bloomed up (for a large price mind you) to a really large picture. I think she got it done at a very good photo store - don't go to wal mart or any lame stores like that. Can't really tell you where to go, never been there :\

take a film picture of your picture. It's cheaper than high-res scanning.

oh i saw my film teacher doing this once, didnt think it would look decent, so i never bothered to give it a try, i guess ill try that out thanks lol

also how much would a high res scan cost? because i was thinking of getting it enlarged and framing it
