subject: Preserving Your Memories With Scanning Services [print this page] Before the digital era exploded, generations of people and families have developed film as their only source of photographs. Some of those older photographs are all we have left of our ancestors, friends, and special events in history. Even the everyday special moments captured in a single photo has a story behind it that should be shared for years to come. But if anything happens to that physical photo in a fire, through water damage, gets lost, or natural fading occurs, then it is no longer remembered or a part of people's lives. That is why getting your photos scanned and digitized helps preserve your memories.
Photo scanning services can offer you ability to not only preserve those memories and individual photos, but also to share them quickly with friends and family. When a picture has been scanned, it can be put on a USB drive, CD, or a DVD which can copied and easily shared with others. Then, if anything happens to the physical cherished photo, you have the ability to make copies of it and keep it around forever, with no fading to worry about.
Professional photo scanning has come a long way and is now easier, faster, and more affordable than ever before.
Your photo scanning service can offer you basic color correction, red-eye removal, duplicate side scanning, removal of dust and scratches through digital ICE technology and many other services to help preserve your special memories. If you have a box full of slides or negatives from old photos, but can't find the actual pictures, there is no need to worry. Professional scanning services also have the capability to scan those as well at 2,000 or 4,000 dpi (dots per inch). Physical photos are typically scanned at 300 or 600 dpi depending on the quality of the picture and what you, the customer, are looking for. When you hear your scanner talking about dpi, they are referring to the amount of detail in the image you are wanting scanned, or in other words, the resolution of the photo.
