That sounds interesting. Do you have a "go-to" camera shop? I'd love some hands on help.

I do, but I don't think you live near me (I'm in the Philadelphia suburbs.) Try googling for a local place.

Your library should have the ability to scan it for you, if you don't have a printer with the "scan" feature. Then you could take the flash drive to WalMart or whereever you chose and have them print it for you.

Another option is to use your phone or digital camera to take a picture of the picture.

...it's digital. Go to Walgreens photo . Decide what size copy you want, up load it to their site. They'll print it and text you when the copies are ready. You can print as many copies as you like. It's not super clear. A 4"x6" print would be ok.

If you want the clarity to be enhanced or the color "refreshed". Someone...like me...who owns a copy of Photoshop can do this for you...then print it...

As for a photo shop, just search ("google") online for photo/camera shops near you, and check their websites for services offered.

I was lent the lone existing (AFAIK) framed copy of a B&W group photo of my family's "cousins club" reunion from 1940. It was about 8" x 17". I found a nearby shop (Midwest Photo) that was able to make both a digital and a print copy for me (I had to remove and replace it from/to the frame though, they would not take responsibility for that.) I actually don't think that I asked if they could improve the quality of the photo - that is, the sharpness of the image.. Price was extremely reasonable.

I go to Walgreens and they will make copies while you wait. inexpensive too.

Walgreens is quick and inexpensive but always a surprise about how clear the photo is or what will be cut off at the bottom or sides.

Maybe, until you can find a good place to get a copy made, at least scan it and have a digital copy of it. That way you have it saved in a different format until you can get it printed.

My experience with these big box services has not been great . If you want a nice copy better to find someone who can enhance it a bit and bring some life to it before it is printed

I have found the value of cropping a photo. Cropping out a portion serves to highlight and isolate and enhance certain aspects of the photo. It is not always just about cropping out the dogs butt that got in the photo because that is where the dog happened to be. It is more about bringing forth a fuller value from the photo.

Once you have a photo that is cleaned up with some photo app, and digitized , you can crop it with just about any computer.

I had a photo of my grandparents, taken in 1910, when they were newlyweds. I wanted to make copies for all of my cousins. I took it to a "real" photo store, and they scanned it, printed copies on quality photo paper, and gave me the photo on a thumb drive, so that I could have more copies made in the future. They scanned the photo while I waited, and gave it right back to me. I wouldn't want to leave an irreplaceable picture just anywhere.

Sidenote--the back of the original had the stamp from the photography store that took the photo. I googled it, and although it is no longer in business (no surprise), I was able to see that it was only a block or two from where they lived when they came to America. I assume the picture was taken to send back to Italy to let the relatives know that they were prospering.

So the store can scan it? Oh. I think that's what I should like to do. I bet their scanner is far more appropriate than mine.

I did take a picture of the picture and it's on a roll of film that will end up digitized, so that's my backup way. Thanks y'all!

You could scan it, send the scanned photo to Walgreen’s, order 1 print. It might surprise you how inexpensive (there’s always a coupon somewhere) a print will cost. If you are pleased, order more prints.

ps…you posted the pic here. Which means someone has already digitalized it. If you are actually looking to restore the photo to original (coloring), it might cost more. Or ask here for help, there may be someone with a good photo editing program that can help.

Good luck.

I only used the edit program that comes with my ”Photos” app. to enhance your pic, other programs might be able to clear up the fuzziness.

Here's another version. It's not perfect, but if you like, I can send you the full-size file for printing.

These are lovely. Thank you so much!
