I don't have a scanner.


Is it possible to take photographs somewhere, have them put onto say a disc or something to print at home.


If so, where ???

    Yes, photo shops such as Jessops, or maybe Boots.

    Assume you want prints scanned? If you still have the matching negatives, you'll get better results from scanning those.

    The boots photo booth will scan, not the quickest though. If for a few photos, then great but for dozens or hundreds, take you all day or more.

    How many prints are you talking about. Its not that hard to scan your own and most all in one printer do a decent job
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j

    Yes, but some of the chain was salvaged by a Dragon (from the Den).

    Ask at other local photo shops, if you have any.

    Probably not worth it just for half a dozen pics, but a very good Canon basic scanner is less than £50.

    Or ask a friend who has a scanner or AIO printer to scan them for you (not less than 300 dpi).If
    If going via a shop you'll probably get a better result at an independent than at Boots.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
