Photo, Slide, and Negative Scanning
If you’re like most people, you have hundreds or thousands of photos stored in photo albums that you never see, or slides that you can no longer view. Can you count the shoe boxes?
This can all be fixed by having them digitized and saved to DVD. This makes an easy way to view your photos and slides and a convenient way to make sure all your precious memories are in one location. No number of photos is too large.
AD Visuals will digitize your photos and slides using the very best in scanning technology. Everything will be scanned at a high resolution, suitable for reprinting or for viewing on a monitor or television. Photos and Slide will be saved as a .jpg file format. Photos will be scanned at 600 dpi. Slides and negatives will be scanned at 3200 dpi. We will perform basic adjustments to the photos as well such as cropping, rotation, and red eye removal.
If you would like your scanned photos to be included in a photo montage, please see our Photo Montage page for details.
All your photos and slides will be returned to you undamaged via Insured and trackable shipment. A flat rate return shipment charge of $19.95 will be added to most orders. Free shipping on all scanning orders over $200.
We use only the highest quality DVD-R discs that are compatible with the majority of DVD players on the market. If you would prefer your project to be on DVD+R discs, please let us know. You can access the following website to verify the type of discs your DVD player can play. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers
All the discs we produce come with a standard color label with a photo or text, depending on your wishes. We also offer you the option of having your project on a Lightscribe disc. This is a DVD with the label/image burned onto the front of the disc. This is great for all your special occasions.
