Listed below are just a few of the reasons why you should scan all of your precious, treasured slides and photos!
Preserve
Film slides and paper photos (prints) will decompose and deteriorate over time. They can fade (silverfish eat the silver in very old photos), discolor, get damaged by light or water, mishandling (scratches, tears, bends, etc.), humidity, spills, storms, fire, flood, you name it! Why wait until a calamity or natural disaster takes all of you precious slide and photo treasures away?
Protect
Once all of your slides and photos are scanned and digitized and placed on DVDs you can make backup copies and give them away to family members for future generations. You also can store backups in your safe deposit box. Digital images do not degrade as they are copied from disc to disc. Our Kodak Gold Preservation discs will last up to 100 years or more! Arizona Scanning also keeps a backup copy of your slide and photo order just in case your digital slides and photos are lost or stolen.
Organize
By getting rid of those old shoeboxes, binders, carousels and photo albums your collections of digital slides and photos will take up less space. You can organize your jpeg slides and photos on your computer in folders at your leisure.
Create
By copying the Arizona Scanning digital slide and photo master jpegs to your computer you can then make custom animated DVD slideshows that you can give as gifts to your family and friends. They in turn can play the DVD slideshows on their home entertainment center watching your slides and photos on 42" LCD TVs!
Share
You can e-mail and share your newly digitized slides and photos with family and friends. Sharing (and keeping backup copies of your slides and photos) with your family has never been easier! You can upload your new slides and photos to Flickr, Kodak, and many other photo sharing websites for viewing and voting by family and friends. Place your slide and photo treasures on your personal website or in your blog. Upload your new digital treasures to your iPod or Zune MP3 player or let the kids watch them in the car on the portable DVD player.
Display
You can copy your special slides and photos to SD (Secure Digital) memory cards and insert these tiny cards into the new LCD digital picture frames. Now your old film slides, paper photos and treasured memories are being displayed in slideshow fashion in your living room or on your office desk.
Customize
Use your newly digitized slides and photos as wallpaper or screensavers on your personal computer, create and print custom postcards, greeting cards, shirts, coffee mugs, or custom photo books.
Print
You no longer have to get your slides and photos "developed". Simply print out as many copies as you need on your home photo printer with no loss of quality. Printing is more flexible and easier than ever! You can also take your new digital slides and photos to Walgreens, Walmart and many other photo finishers for professional prints.
Restore
You can repair and restore your new digital slides and photos by eliminating red-eye, dust, scratches, creases and other defects. There are many photo color restoration programs that will bring the original colors of your old discolored slides and faded photos back to life!
Investigate
You can zoom in and enlarge very small objects almost hidden within your digital slides and photos. For example, zoom in on a car's license plate to determine the year that the slide or photo was taken.
