    hey all
    have an old photo, fairly large has been in a frame
    but over the course of time it has become a bit,
    well its fairly water damaged from top left hand corner
    and water marks drip down to bottom :(
    do you think theres any chance it could be fixed and is there
    anywhere in galway that would do it..
    was thinking about that place down the west end but think
    it might need a professional..
    any ideas as it would be a great suprise for my mam
    if i could get it done, cheers guys :)

    If they can't help you, let me know and I'll take a look.

    I'm fairly handy with photoshop.

    Just what I was thinking, if you scan it into photoshop there is a lot you can do, I've done it on several old creased and damged photos of mine. I'm sure there is something that can be done.

    There is a guy in Tuam, photographer Johnny Ryan, who does photo restoration as well. Saw one he did and it came out well. Have no connection with him but seems to be capable enough.
