I love this picture i took on a recent trip to paris and i would like to get it enlarged to maybe a 16x10 inch print to fit into an old picture frame i have . So does anyone know of anywhere in Glasgow i could go to and have this done 'and any idea of cost ? Thanks.

Loxley Colour in Port Dundas aren't that cheap, but the results are excellent. Our own Potatojunkie used to, and possibly still does, get his exhibition prints done there.

Spam! No, wait, um... (Might try them if I ever take a decent photo, actually.)

In a similar vein, can anyone recommend a wedding photo printer? Someone who'll do a variety of book styles preferably?

He still does.

It's a lovely pic. A 16x10 should skin you £3.57 plus VAT.

Er. At risk of laying on the love for Loxley's a little heavily, their Bellissimo books are downright sumptuous. Drop into the lab and have a swizz.

He's right! My wedding album is superb, and has amazed everyone who has seen it. The photos aren't bad either :wink:

So, just since I notice that Mr Moto is online, did you get a print done, and how did it turn out?

I was going to use Jessops print service for an A3-sized blow up - but I'll pay these guys a visit I think.

I love this site - a real hive of information! :D
