Digital Photo Benefits: Why Digitize Slides, Prints, & Negatives with our Scanning Services?
Our lives are filled with journeys, not only geographic but with cherished emotional experiences. Life is simply a journey we take, and our photographic history chronicles that journey.
You may be surprised to learn that those cherished photos stuffed away in that shoe box in the closet are beginning to fade away. Unfortunately photo prints, slides, and negatives are not permanent. Even the most reliable storage methods cannot prevent your traditional photos, slides, and negatives from aging, and eventual fading and discoloration. If you could relive your wedding day with the click of a mouse, would you? If you could preserve your baby's toothless grin forever, would you? Our scanning services make these things possible!

Your photos will be preserved. Sharing pictures with family and friends has never been easier. We've put together a processing option that's sure to please consumers, professional photographers, and even the penny pincher. Please read on to learn more about the benefits of digital images.
PRESERVE: Our scanning and archiving services provide a means to preserve those precious memories with permanence in digital form. Digital images do not fade, discolor, get scratched, or torn. Neither are they adversely effected by acids or materials present in papers & plastics. Digital images can be reproduced or copied from one medium to another with no loss of quality or change to the original. Do digital images last forever? If cared for properly it is possible to ensure that your photo collection can weather the ages in perfect form. While digital storage mediums, CDs Hard-Disks or any other medium, do not last forever, the images stored on these devices can be moved to new media with no loss of quality, ensuring that your digital images can be passed down from generation to generation in perfect condition. Universities, museums, and libraries typically archive important information to high quality CD-Rs, keep two copies at different locations, and at intervals based on CD-R's life span check the disks to ensure they are in working order. At the first sign of data loss the information stored on the disks would be copied to a new medium, whatever is the standard at that time, then the process will be repeated.
ORGANIZE: Never dig through piles of photos again! It's easy to find the picture you're looking for when your photos are in digital format. Today's software will let you view all your photos with ease. You can even categorize your new digital photos by date, year, month, person, or event. Finding a group of photos only takes a few clicks with Adobe® Photoshop® Album.
SHARE: Access your photos anywhere that has internet access! If you live in Toronto and your brother or sister lives in Vancouver no need to worry. You'll both be able to view, edit, e-mail, and share pictures over the Internet.
EDIT: Like to scrapbook? or get creative? Be the master of your personal digital darkroom. Digital Photos are easy to edit and be creative with. Make flaws magically disappear, remove a distracting object, or paint your grandfathers face on Mt. Rushmore with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements. The only limit is your imagination.
