Why Scan Your Photos?
Despite what advertisers might tell you, color photos do not last! Over the long run, prints, slides, and negatives get scratched, change color, and fade away. So, why scan?
Top 8 reasons to scan your photos
- Photos deteriorate over time. They fade, get damaged, molded stained, scratched, torn, bent, and of course, they get lost.
- Secure your memories. Unlike prints, digital images do not degrade as they are copied and reproduced.
- To Share. Digitizing prints makes it faster and easier to share photos with friends and family via email, the Web, and slideshows.
- To Enjoy. Instead of pulling out and possibly damaging old photos, people can view them on a computer/TV with other digital images.
- Organize pictures with ease just like any other digital photo.
- Restore. The signs of aging can be reversed. Dust, scratches, red-eye, stains, rips, and other imperfections can be removed.
- Enhance. Bring those faded colors back to life. Adjust the brightness and contrast of images, zoom and crop around smaller details, objects or persons; even add a digital frame or caption to photos.
- Printing flexibility. Print your photos as many times as you want without quality loss.
