repairing negatives

[Corsair]

Is it possible to repair photographic negatives which have been cut up into pieces? All the pieces are there and the photographs have sentimental value. If so are there people who can do this and what is the name of the service, I have searched on the internet and not found anything.

The first thing I would try, for a free fix, is scanning each piece with the scanner set to a high resolution setting and try reassembling the peices digitally.  Most image software have a simple negative function to 'flip' the colours, this would enable you to get the final photgraph.  I don't know if this would work as I haven't tried it, but its got to be worth a shot.

Thanks. Most of the pieces are really small but I think it is worth spending time on them.

I have a negative scanner and am happy to give it whirl for you if you're happy to trust Royal Mail with the pieces of negative.  I've done a lot of restoration and enhancement of old family photo although never pieced together scanned negative fragment.  Would make an interesting challenge.  Let me know if interested ([email protected])
