I have some photos that are very precious to me and would like to get a few of them printed and framed. Does anyone have experience of and can recommend services that do this?
-
I've always had prints printed, then framed at a local framer, so can't help on a 'complete' service.
-
Ditto. The value of a 'split' service is that you get to choose the frame suitable for the subject. There are literally dozens to choose from.
-
Photo box do all in one services, framed, frameless, canvas etc.
-
Aye, I found several online, including photobox.
Was looking for an all in one service as there aren't exactly a lot of picture framers near me.
These are just photos of sentimental value. Some are digital, some are digital photos of old prints. I don't have the originals anymore.

You may or may not be aware that there are some smart AI photo restoring services/software (https://www.google.com/search?q=ai+photo+restoration&oq=ai+photo+res&aqs=chrome.0.0i512l2j69i57j0i512l7.4420j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) available these days - I've bene watching with interest but not actually tried any yet.

if using photobox make sure you google a discount code - only last week I saved more than half price on a photobook vz £10.99 of the price of £19.99. I was initially disappointed they had raised the price of the book from £11.99 to £19.99 as the last order day for Mother's Day had passed (which was not my concern) but 55% discount code from vouchers'r'us or whatever soon sorted that. I have always found the quality of their books and large prints better than others.

You could scan them, edit and tidy them up in Photoshop, and then either make a print from a good printer or - as I've been doing lately with B&W, make an acetate 'negative' (after inverting the image) and then print them in a darkroom. I've been making cyanotypes like that recently.
