hi guys
is it possable for photos to be reduced down??? i took some pics into a high street devloper when i got them back they were the wrong size. hed done them 7/5 not 6/ 4 and lost the negs. their the the wrong size now for my albums and i cant cut them down so can they be reduced to 6/4? hes washed his hands off them offering me a free film

Scan them at high resolution 600 or so dpi and save them to a thumb drive, CD-Rom and bring them to a commercial pronter. You should be able to get just about any size. If you have a photo quality color printer and photo paper, you can do this at home.

i dont have the equipment for that so wonder if a photo shop can do it ?????

Probaby. Also try am office store. We have Staples on this side of the pond which could prpbably do it as well.

Most photo shops these days should have a piece of equipment known (in the US at least) as a "Kodak Printmaker". Fuji makes its own version (I don't know what its called.) With it you, or their techs, can scan your 5X7s and save them to digital files, which can then be printed to the size you need. Bear in mind that there will be some cropping due to the proportions of the originals. Also, there will be a slight increase in contrast.

As a former photo professional I can't believe that your lab tried to foist the old "free roll of film" off on you as the answer to your problem. Scanning and saving to a digital file would only cost them labor (in the old days they would have had to make copy negs, an involved and expensive procedure.) My advice, do not under any circumstances, patronize the outfit that ruined your film again.

Just another quick note, had any of my employees treated a customer the way that you were, I would have sacked them. You have every right to be livid.
