Preserving Paper Photos
By Scanning At 600 ppi
We will create a slide show for your Paper Photographs just the same as you would get if you have 35mm slides. Please note that we do not intermix Slide Scans with Photo Scans. They can be in the same "Show" or "Chapter" but we do not intermix them unless we charge extra. By that, we mean that we don't put paper photo scan #36 in-between 35mm slide scan #23 and #24. Intermixing takes a lot of extra time. We can make sure they are all in the same "show" or folder on your disk at no extra charge.
Packaging your Paper Photos
Be very careful about using rubber bands on your paper photos. You may put a bend in the photos and damage them. Most people separate the photos by putting them in envelopes that are big enough to hold them without a rubber band. Photos that are not flat may not scan well. Please don't pack them with shredded paper or anything that would cause problems during the scanning process.
Mixing Different Photograph Sizes Together
You can mix different size photos together in the same show. You do not have to separate the pictures according to size.
Here is a good way to make sure all your paper photos, especially if they are different sizes, stay together. Go to your local business supply store and look for "Binder Clips." They come in various sizes and you can get some that can hold a lot of paper photos. Once the photos are clipped together, you can put them into an appropriately sized envelope for further protection.

Scanning Resolution
Paper photos are scanned at 600 pixels per inch and the finished scan is 600 pixels per inch. This is a high resolution image, suitable for printing.
Text On Your Paper Photos
If you have any writing on some of your paper photos and it is on the border of the photo, it is going to get trimmed off by our scanner.

The best thing to do would be to use a sticker of some kind and write on it or just write on the photo and put your text inside the border.
Number of Photos Per "Chapter" or "Show"
We recommend, for organizational purposes, that you do not have more than 100-150 photos per chapter or show. Your menu selections are just going to be much better if you have more chapters rather than less.
If you number the pictures on the back or do other writing on the back, do the marking in pencil and not ink. We had more than one customer who ruined a good part of their photo collection by marking with a permanent magic marker on the backs of the photos. On many of the photos, the ink offset onto the picture below. Please avoid this heartbreaking situation. Use pencil.

I received my CD yesterday. The results were better than expected given the state of the old slides. I mailed the balance due today. If possible, when returning my slides, please provide the UPS tracking number.
I have another project that contains about 290 slides and I can have it ready to ship by early next week. Please provide a project start date and I will send in the $50 fee to hold the date.
Thanks again for a fine job.

I received and reviewed the last disks in my order today, and I am mailing your final payment plus an extra $5 each for duplicates of disks 2-11. I am pleased with your work and especially with your customer service. You have been very responsive and helpful. Considering that my order included scanning and printing to disk of well over 6,000 slides, completion of the order was very quick. I also am very appreciative of the extra work you must have done to get as much as possible from many of my slides that were over- or under-exposed or faded or damaged due to age. In every area, you did MUCH better than the slide scanning service I used previously.
Sincerely,

Recently Old Photo converted two sets of slides
to disc for me. The first set was 28 years old.
The second set has just been returned to me.
They were photos that I made exactly fifty years
ago this week at the Nevada Test Site related to
a nuclear test. I intend to use them to make a
PowerPoint presentation before my Rotary Club
just fifty years after the first time! Affordable 35mm Slide Scanning Co. did everything possible to satisfy my
requirements. Service was excellent and the
results superb. I will be sending more slides
including some over 65 years old. It is great to
do business with a company that responds
promptly to email requests. I heartily recommend
Affordable 35mm Slide Scanning Co..
