Looking for advice on restoring old black and whites, faded color pics, best way to utilize old pics of various sizes and shapes to fill a multi-pic frame to hang on the wall?
The DW has had a few old pics restored by a local photography shop to fill a multi-pic frame, as well as two 8 1/2" x 11" pics for wall hanging in the living room. Gotta look good. The two large pics were blown up and retouched. I guess all pics were retouched for color and clarity. They look fine to me. But not knowing anything to compare the quality to, I was wonder if there are any suggestions from those in the know because we now want to fill another 8 place frame with pics from the same era. The first was of her family. The new project is of my family. I have collected 4 shoe boxes of old pics which I am sorting out now. Various sizes, shapes, and condition. Going to try to narrow it down to the 8 best pics.
I hope that describes what I am trying to get accomplished. Suggestions and advice?
