Before scannning and enhancement was available I took my set of Canadian 1940-41 prints to a guy who was indeed a high-end photographer, specialising in repros and graphics for advertising, etc. He produced a large set of negs in large format and then prints. Brilliant job. However these days I send them off to my company expert who used a £4500 scanner but even then the best results apparently are with a drum scanner, and then it's down to software. There are some guys and gals out there that can then spend hours on jut one photo and do miracles with it, but they cost. £25 per print say.
