Question about precious missing photograph

[XanaDUer2]

Like an idiot, I took out an irreplaceable photo and somehow lost it. I took a picture of it with my phone. Its not the greatest photo, but its something left. Ive looked everywhere and am heartbroken and angry with myself.

Is there a company I can send the picture on my phone to so they can replicate it in hard copy? They may have to fix it a bit the color is a little off and its uneven.

Does anyone know who does something like this? Tia

1. Many places will do it, even Walgreens and CVS.

Just google "prints from phone photos" and you'll get dozens of options.

2. You can touch up color and brightness on any phone these days

or do it on a computer (send the photo to the computer)

I even erased some power lines on a scenic photo for the first time, using the computer, and there are phone apps that will erase and patch things. Of course, the larger the screen the easier to do.

I imagine that any number of DU'ers could as well, if you share the photo privately (don't ask details right now).

And as Ocelot II put it, lots of places print from a file.

I mentioned the editing because if some outfit does it, it might cost a bunch, whereas many of us here adjust and patch photos every day.

3. There are facebook groups

One group I really enjoy is called “Free Photoshop Edits.” People submit photos and ask for specific edits. There are some pretty amazing results (and some hilarious). I know that this particular group has tons of submissions, but just the existence of this group tells me that there are lots of people who have the talent, apps and kindness in their hearts to help people out.

Good luck!

5. You might find people here

willing to fix it up for you to be printed. If they just make it a printable file like Jpeg, you can bring to staples or Kinkos/FedEx and have it printed on glossy paper.
