How do I get a duplicate picture

This photo was lost for many years, so I don't want it to ever happen again. How do I get duplicates? There is no negative. As you can see it's a hard copy and probably from 1970?

Adorable photo! Either scan it at high resolution and then print it out on photo paper, or take it to a camera shop and have them do it.

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

I upload pictures to a folder on a friend's web server, and use the same html link to his folder, instead of a photo-hosting website. Claire over on the New England Gardening forum uses Tinypic. According to her, the advantage of TinyPic.com is that it's very easy to upload one photo and link to it, and you don't have to set up an account. The disadvantage is that you can only upload one photo at a time, which is not useful if you want to show many photos. Claire's instructions for using Tinypic.com: 1. The photo files on your computer must be in a format such as jpeg or jpg. 2. Using Tiny Pic, you hit the "Choose File" button and it searches your computer desktop. 3. Choose one then select a size ("Resize" button), and then UPLOAD NOW. 4. When the file is uploaded, copy the HTML tag, not the IMG tag. 5. Paste the HTML tag in your post. Here is a link that might be useful: tinypic.com

First, you need to find a fan with the wiring for the light kit above the fan, rather than below as most are. Once you do, posting your question in the metalworking forum might be more appropriate. Be advised, the modification you are making will negate the UL certification on the fan.

hello all, You should check the cords you got with the cell phone. It should have one to attach to a USB port as someone mentioned. Then you just plug it in and find the photos to transfer over. I think you just make a file first or put it into My Pictures and go from there to whatever image editor you have installed. great selection found here....

How do I get emails sent to me? How do I get followups sent to me?

Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you when someone posts to a thread you started: Be sure you have a valid/current email address in your profile Again in your profile, be sure you have the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked (at the bottom of the profile page) Be sure to check the box labeled "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you" when you submit your post. (Below the "Message" box) Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page) If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message. Note: Some members have said they still have problems getting emails. I seem to always get emails, but I have noticed that occasionally there will be a several hour delay and once there was a several day delay...I don't know why. Also, check your Junk Mail, sometimes the emails end up there. Add "gardenweb_user@gardenweb.com" to your "safe senders" list as well. If you still don't get emails, check with your internet service provider and be sure emails from GW are not being filtered out as junk before they get to you.

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.

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.
