From your scanned slides, negative, and prints we can also produce high quality DVD Slide Shows.  These can be from a simple looping show of slides or a multi-chapter slide show - allowing you to have individual slide shows for different groups of slides.  See our Pricing/Order form for the various options.  We use Apple Final Cut Studio 2 to provide you the best image and slide show quality.


Our prices are very simple.  When you select the service you wish, we have no extra add-on items to complete your order.  You do not pay extra for CD's or DVD's or for special attention.  Think about it. you pay for the slide conversion, you must store it one something - be it a CD or DVD.  For this reason the media is included in the price of the scan.
 
A note about media.  When saving your images to a CD or DVD, your are only selecting a storage media (DVD holds about 7 CD's worth).  This is not a DVD that you would play on your TV DVD player, as that unit does not normally read a data disk.  TV DVD's use a different format, which is why you get a DVD Slide Show made from your data images.

Unsure about what you are ordering?  Try our sampler packages for slides or prints - only $40.- which includes the media and shipping.  You will actually receive the actual image quality (2000 ppi) and not a file reduced in size for email, etc. - just as you would receive the final product.

About our pricing - you will typically find three price ranges - we are mid-tier in the pricing that you will typically find.  What is the difference?  Sites that charge considerably less typically provide only 300-600ppi in their scans - a considerable difference from the 2000-4000 ppi shops such as ours.  Additionally, they are very automated, may ship things offshore, and do not offer the one on one semi-custom service that a shop such as ours provides.  Working as a semi-custom shop, we strive to provide the greatest value possible, along with quality service.  You will notice a considerable quality difference in what we provide, versus the chain or mass market scanning services.  What you will receive are high resolution quality scans, that have had individual attention, versus scan just made by a machine at low resolution.

We also provide custom services to meet your specialized needs.

Today's FAD (to follow the fad from other slide scanning firms) - We DO NOT ship your pictures to another firm or country.  We do all our work in house and strive on providing you the best service that would not be possible if your photos were shipped offshore to process.

We are proud of our customer service and quality of work.
