Scanning
Recommendations
- Scan photos in color (even black and white images). Save as high quality jpeg or tiff.
- Do not make any adjustments to the photos
during or after scanning.
- Scan at 300 - 600 dpi.
- You may send a low resolution image for us to
evaluate, but when it comes to restoring a digital
photo, higher resolutions are best.
- If you don't have a scanner you could go to a Copy
Center like Kinko's, and have them do it for you.
Packaging and Shipping
Recommendations
We have found that the mail service in the United States and Canada is safe to use. They both offer tracking services as well. It is a good idea to take advantage of the extra security.
- Place photos between two pieces of cardboard
or similar protection. The cardboard should be
a bit larger than the largest photo.
- Use a padded envelope or special "Photo
Mailer" package if you wish.
- Shipping containers should be marked "Do not
bend" on both sides. If you fill out a customs
form, it should be marked "photos" no value.
