I would call / go up to the store. Everyone is friendly and informative. I haven't gotten any torn photos repaired but I'm sure it depends on the extent of the damage
Yes, all you are doing is replacing the pixels, and recreating the image. I had horrific images that I repaired in school, so if I can do it they can.
Yes and no. Depending on the tear they may be able to fix the original. But if not they can piece what you have together. depending on how bad the damage is they can just make you a new print or do photo restoration and then make you a new print. You could text or email them a photo copy of what your working with and they should be able tell you your options for this particular photo,along with an estimate. Hope this helps.Give them a call ,the people there have always been quite friendly to me.
