Photo scanning howto
Creating digital images is not so hard when you have digital camera but what if you want to transfer your old images on DVD or your computer? This can be done with your home scanner but what if you have hundreds of images?
Scanning allows you to create digital files, make new prints of old photos or negatives, e-mail them to friends, and more. If you’re new to photo scanning, you’ll need to take care about aligning, resolution, colors, image size, etc. Top quality scans can’t be done without a quality scanner and first you must determine what you eventually want to do with your scanned photo. You’ll need to decide whether the scanned image will be e-mailed, printed, re sized, enlarged, or archived in order to choose the right resolution and file format.
Scanner resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi) and the more dots you have means the sharper the image. File format is also important. It refers to the way that scans are saved to the computer (JPEG, PNG, TIFF). You can identify a file’s format by the extension after the dot at the end of the file name (such as .jpg, .jpeg, .gif or .tif).
Just like I said above, if you have to much images and you want top quality, photo scanning can be painfully slow and you should think about professional photo scanning service. They understand the value of your photos and take the responsibility of handling these precious materials very seriously. Also you will get the highest quality service where all images are cropped, rotated and color corrected manually. Fixing dust is also included in service.
They can to the same with your video tapes. Video transfer is a complicated procedure so you should send your tapes to professionals.
You don’t need to worry about your material. They will return your originals together with digital material you ordered.
