We want ordering your photo to digital
services from us to be as easy as possible. Below you will find
the steps for placing your order and some other suggestions that may
help us to create the exact results you desire in your photo to digital
project results.
1. Decide
What Resolution You Need
2.
Choose Your File Format ... JPEG or TIFF
3. Choose
Your Storage Medium ... CD or Data DVD
4.
Select Your Pricing and Options
5. If
Desired, Organize Your Prints
If you wish to edit the digital image files
yourself or you just need your photos scanned economically, package up
your prints and send them to us. You will receive high quality
digital image files on a CD or data DVD.
If, however, you are looking for a
completely finished project when you receive your CD or data DVD,
investing some time to organize your photos to digital project will not
only help assure the most pleasing results, but could also reduce the
costs.
If your photos are in albums,
you may want to remove them from the albums. While we are happy to
do this for you, it increases the handling time to process your order,
and we must charge accordingly ( 5 cents per photo removed). In
addition, albums add weight and bulk to the order increasing shipping
costs.
Next, you may want to organize
your photographs by year, by event, by subject, etc.
For instance, let's say you would like
to have your photographs organized by year, and you have selected our
bulk pricing option. Sort your photos by year. Wrap each set
of photographs with a simple piece of paper labeled with the year, and
slip them all into your Ziploc®
bags. We will create separate
folders for each group of photographs you have assembled. In this
way, your CD or data DVD will be organized in a way that makes finding
and using the photos much easier for you.
Naming of your digital images is
another factor to consider. Included
in our pricing is auto file naming. We will organize your photos
into folders per your instructions numbering each image file within the
folder chronologically. If you prefer to have the image files
identified by subject, etc., we offer this option. If you choose
this option, you must label each photograph with the file name you
prefer. We recommend labeling on the back of the print using
labels as the labels allow you to write in pencil. Use care if
using ink! If you stack photos with wet ink on the back, you may
damage the face of other photographs with ink smudges.
Need a only a few enlargements from
the photos in your project? Separate
them from the rest of your order. You can request just those
photographs to be scanned at higher resolution to keep the cost of your
project in line.
Lots of color photographs of people?
If your project contains a large number of color photographs of people,
redeye reduction is probably worth
considering. If you select bulk pricing,
redeye correction is priced as a
flat fee. If you choose individual pricing, you will pay for
redeye correction per print.
In this case, it would be best if you separate the photos you want
corrected from those that require no adjustment.
Again, if you wish to edit the
digital image files yourself or just need them scanned, package up your
prints and send them to us. You will receive high quality digital
image files on a CD or data DVD.
As you can see, a little planning on your
part before you send us your photos to digital project can save you
money as well as assure you the quality results you're looking for in
the finished product.
