Photographic Negative to Digital
Order Planner
We want ordering your photographic negatives 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 photographic negatives 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 Photographic Negatives
If you wish to edit the digital image files yourself or you just need your photographic negativess scanned economically and don't want any image editing or retouching, package up your photographic negatives 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 photographic negatives to digital project will not only help assure the most pleasing results, but could also reduce the costs.
First, you may want to organize your photographic negatives by year, by event, by subject, etc. For instance, let's say you would like to have your photographic negatives organized by year, and you have selected our bulk pricing option. Sort your photographic negatives by year. Wrap each set of photographs with a simple piece of tissue paper labeled with the year, and slip them all into your Ziploc® bags. (We recommend tissue paper for photographic negatives to prevent any scratching of the negatives.) We will create separate folders for each group of photographic negatives you have assembled. In this way, your CD or data DVD will be organized in a way that makes finding and using the digital images 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 photographic negatives 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 put your photographic negatives in order and include a list detailing what file name you want for each photographic negative. We assume the first negative of the first negative strip is #1, the second #2, etc. Assuming you have strips of 4 negatives (which is most common), the second negative strip will begin with #5. Simply give us a numbered list of the file names you want, and we will name accordingly.
Need a only a few enlargements from the photographic negatives in your project? Separate them from the rest of your order. You can request just those photographic negatives to be scanned at higher resolution to keep the cost of your project in line.
Lots of color images of people? If your project contains a large number of color images of people, redeye reduction is probably worth considering. You probably will not see the redeye distortion in the negative, but it may still be there. Because redeye is a very displeasing effect in your finished images, we offer redeye correction at a very economical cost. 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 negative. In this case, it would be best if you separate the negatives 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 photographic negatives 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 photographic negatives to digital project can save you money as well as assure you the quality results you're looking for in the finished product.
