Breathe Fresh Air Back Into Your Precious Old Photos and Home Movies
There is little doubt that you have a good sized collection of old family photographs stored away in photo albums or in boxes somewhere in your home. You probably have not looked through these photos, negatives and slides for years just because there is no order to them. Now you can enjoy all of those past memories once again by taking advantage of scanning services that are readily available online.
Your old photos, slides and negatives can be put onto your computer so that you can enhance, organize and share them all with the people in your life. To get started, you need to simply locate a company on the internet that offers photo scanning services. Next you need to gather
together your collection of prints, slides and negatives that you would like digitized. There is no reason to group them by size or type as the experts at the company will do that for you. You then complete the ordering process and send your items in using an envelope or box of your choice. Once the package has been received, the team of experts will get to work scanning your items on high resolution commercial grade scanners. The images will then be burned onto CDs or DVDs, the choice is yours. Your files and folders on the CD/DVD will be organized to reflect the way that your physical media is organized. In other words, by roll of negatives, carousel of slides, etc. For example, if you have an album of photos named ‘Christmas 1995’, all of those images will be put into a folder called the same and the files will be named ‘Christmas 1995-001’, ‘Christmas 1995-002’ and so
forth. You will be able to view your images and play them on nearly any DVD player.
If you have some old home movies on VHS stored away somewhere you should be made aware of the fact that these movies will not last indefinitely as the tapes will deteriorate over time. So if you want to preserve them while there is still time consider using a vhs to dvd service to save those cherished memories so that you can share them with friends and family for years to come. The same type of company that offers the scanning service mentioned above most normally offers vhs to dvd service as well so you may wish to have all of the work done at one time. But that is up to you. What happens in this process is that your VHS tapes will be
transferred first to computers so that DVDs and full quality digital video files can be created. The home movies are digitized and edited to remove blank spots and quality checks are performed to be sure that the video and audio are in sync. The DVD-R discs are then burned and sent to you. You have the freedom to make copies of these DVDs as you wish and there is no worry of the movies deteriorating.
The next time you are looking for a unique gift idea to give to someone consider using your own photography. You can have some great looking custom photo books made by the same company that scans your photos and transfers your VHS tapes to DVD format. These albums are created by taking the digital images
from your computer and having them put into custom designed books. These custom photo books are ideal for sending out to friends and family as a way to share your memories. You have complete control over the layout, background, themes and cover types, so you just need to let your imagination run wild! Designing these books are a lot of fun and you will certainly be very pleased with the finished product.
Take those great old photos and home movies you have tucked away at home and breathe some fresh life back into them so that they can be shared and enjoyed by more people. After all, you saved them because they meant a lot to you so why not allow others to experience the joy you have received from them?
