This graphic design service is often offered by photo printing shops.


Sharpen your skills by taking old photographs and scanning them in at 300-600dpi depending on the size you want to enlarge them to.


I recommend using Photoshop. The clone tool is your friend when removing dust particles and scratches. You can also add colour to your black and white scans by using the selection tools and colourising certain parts of your picture and get great effects.


If your scans are bad quality (e.g. out of magazines etc), you can use blurring effectively to remove scan lines and paper texture that might have been picked up by your scanner.
