Getting Started
How Does Our Process Work?
The process of organizing and permanently storing your photographs, slides, negatives, or video is as simple or complicated as you want it to be. We can SCAN them “as is” and transfer them directly to CDs or DVDs. Or you can spend the time to first SORT through them, put them in order, divide them into categories or years, label and date them. Then we can SCAN them. That way, you’ll always be able to easily find the photo, or set of photos that you need, when the time comes.
Either way, they’ll be ready to view on a computer or DVD player, to print, or to create a slide show or photobook. STORE them in their personalized DVD case with the title you’ve chosen.
Now is the time. Don’t leave boxes full of photos of unknown people, places, and events to be thrown away later. Organize and preserve them so that you, as well as future generations, can enjoy them. Create a new library of meaningful memories you can look at any time, and use to create gifts for many years to come.
SORT
First gather all your pictures into one place. Keep only the photos that you will enjoy viewing over again, or may want to use some day in a slide show or photo book. Don’t be afraid to throw away duplicates – remember they’ll be digitized and you can always get copies. If some of your favorites are not in the best condition, keep them; the scanning process usually improves them.
Most people want them all in chronological order by year. But there may be certain occasions which you’ll want to separate. If you think you’ll want that once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe where you can pull it out and look at it, keep it in a separate bundle within the correct year.
Bind them into bundles. It’s a good idea to name your pictures, or attach keywords (a name, place, date) which will make it easier to find specific photos later. Use a 6B pencil to lightly write the information on the back of each photo. We will “title” your digital photos so you can easily search for them as needed.
SCAN
Bring us your photos, slides, negatives, or home videos in the order in which you would like them scanned. Give us a few at a time, or let us scan them all at once. The scanning process will often times improve the quality of the print or slide without the need for further restoration. Basic photoshop color restoration is included. We will scan them in high resolution to CD or DVD, so that you can view them on your computer or DVD player whenever you’d like.
If you took the time, as mentioned in the SORT process, to label them, we will label the digital photos for you, at no extra cost! If they are sorted into years or occasions, or whatever you have chosen, we will put them into folders of that title, again at no extra cost.
We normally provide a 300dpi jpg image. If you prefer higher resolution, or another format such as tif, let us know and we can do that too.
STORE
Keep your new CD/DVD library handy to be available to pull off the shelf and view using your computer or DVD player at any time. If you’ve taken the time to sort and organize them, we can label your disk boxes to represent the contents. We have boxes that hold 1, 2, 3, or 4 disks – that’s over 1500 images in one personalized, slim DVD box on your shelf!
Stuck for ideas for a present this year? With all your photos on CD, you can easily go through them and select special photos to have made into gifts. Have a child about to graduate from college? Choose pictures from birth to high school graduation and have us create a photo book of the growing-up years – a gift your child will treasure forever. Daughter getting married? Have us make a slide show for her wedding shower or reception. You need never be without a gift idea!
You will never be sorry that you have taken the time and made the investment to organize and store your photos in a way that will make them handy and available whenever you need them!
