Convert your slides or negatives
into digital images or photos. |
Let us bridge the digital divide between your new photos and
your old photos.
We can take your old slides and negatives and convert them
into digital images
just like the ones that come out of your digital camera.
With advanced scanning techniques, image enhancement, and
color restoration,
your old photos can look like they were just taken.
In addition to delivering your photos to you on disk, we will
make them available
to you here online so you can order prints, DVD slideshows, or any other product
that you would normally enjoy with current day digital images.
Pricing is flexible at $19.95 + scanning (see chart below),
plus $5.00 shipping and handling, which covers the mailing of completed
disk and the return of the original materials (larger items extra).
There are two general types of scanning:
Original Size - Where we scan the images at
their original size and the scanned image can be
reproduced or printed the same size as the original, and in many cases 1 or two
steps larger.
Enlarged - Where we scan the images at 3x
their original size** and the scanned image can be reproduced
or printed the same size and larger than the original.
This also gives you
the ability to crop a scanned image without
making it too small to print.
This is a magnification factor
done in the scanned and will not pixilate your images.
** Wallets are scanned to 4x original size - ** Slides and Negatives are scanned
to 9X original size

Some important info you need to know:
All images are delivered to you on a DVD
disk in JPG format.
Framed Photos - If you
have a photo in a frame that has stuck to the glass DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT.
The photo could be destroyed! Just bring it to us still in the frame and
we can handle it.
Slides - Unless there are words or something
obvious in the photo, we have no way of knowing if a slide is inverted
or not. We suggest you mark the slides appropriately and we will tell you how to
do that.
Negatives - We cannot scan Advantix or rolled
type negatives. The scanner can only scan standard cut strips and
will automatically the entire strip. If your strip has 5 photos per strip
for example, you will be charged for all 5 photos.
The exception to this is if you have very old large format negatives that are
individually cut.
Cropped Vs. Uncropped -
Uncropped images may have some white border or spacing around them that you can
remove by cropping them yourself in Picasa. Not all prints are exactly the size
they should be.
Retouched Vs. Unretouched -
Retouching includes basis color and light balancing. Sometimes older
photos are faded
and retouching can bring back some of the original color and brightness.
Likewise, older black and white photos can be
retouched to enhance their brightness and contrast to make the images more
vivid. Retouching will not remove dust,
scratches, or other damage to photos.
