Why should I digitally archive
my photos?
Once your photos are in digital format you'll have a perfect copy
every time. You can store your photos, make perfect copies, email
them to friends or family, even use your disk for reprints at
your local photo processing center. Your digital photos will never
fade or age, no more cracking, or discoloring. You'll never have
to dig through boxes or photos to find the picture you want again.
Roughly 100 high quality photos can fit on one CD, and a DVD can
hold over 600 photos. You could order a second copy of your disk
at a reasonable price and store it in your safety deposit box
essentially FIREPROOFING your photo collection. There are other
benefits but now you have a glimpse of the benefits.

Your photos will be scanned to JPEG format with 100% quality compression.
We can also convert them to TIFF format if you desire but this
give you less photos per disc.

What resolution will my photos
be scanned at?
That depends on the photo. Negatives and Slides are scanned at
1200dpi, dots per inch, while prints
will be scanned at 300-600dpi depending on size of photo. The
result will be about 2300x1600 for a 4x6 print. This is a high
enough resolution to accurately create a 8x10 photo without any
degradation in quality.
