How long would it take you to scan 1000 photos?

I’m thinking it would take me quite some time and I don’t think I’d be able to do anything else if I wanted to get them scanned in a reasonable amount of time. If you have a large amount of photos sitting in closet, basement, or attic, you may want to check out ScanMyPhotos.com. The service promises to professionally scan 1,000 photos for you, the same day it receives them, and put them on a DVD for $50.

The company uses a Kodak scanning machine that can process a hundred photos per minute. From an informative New York Times article about the whole process.

Blog posting by Jerry Guo

"All those Kodak 4x6 prints tucked away in who knows how many shoeboxes? You can finally scan them to your computer with a new service that costs pennies per print.It's the latest tip from David Pogue, the New York Times' personal-tech columnist (he writes frequently about cameras, mobile gadgets, and other nifty tech stuff that flashpackers and the mobile traveler will be interested in; bookmark him).Anyways, the service is called, straightforwardly enough, ScanMyPhotos.com, and for $50, they'll digital 1,000 of your prints, of all sizes. And as Pogue says, there's no catch. Just lots of small print (much of which basically stipulates that you do most of the work in terms of sorting and organizing). He does a good job of running through the service here."

Excerpt:

It looks like David Pogue's ridden to my rescue yet again.
A few weeks back, I lamented on the fact that my family photo albums were disintegrating, and that the project to repair them looked nearly insurmountable. I had even discarded the thought of scanning the pictures because of the sheer amount to time involved for getting pretty mediocre results.
However, based on the recommendation in David's most recent NY Times column, I am going to carefully dismantle those decaying photo albums and send the pictures into Scanmyphotos.com. For $50, this company will scan up to 1000 pictures, and send you back a DVD with your images in JPEG format. Of course, there are caveats - everything has to be properly organized and labled, there are extra fees for reorienting images, scanning the backs of photos, etc., but frankly - it seems worth every penny.
Consider this - a sheet feed scanner that will actually accept photos (most don't) costs about $400. Not only is it expensive (the equivalent of scanning 8000 photos), it will be primarily a uni-tasker in your office, because the sheetfeed mechanism means that the unit won't work comfortably or well as a flatbed scanner (I know this from experience).

The New York Times' Personal Tech Columnist, David Pogue Profiled ScanMyPhotos.com

2008-08-13T16:43:00.000-07:00

Read the New York Times August 14th ScanMyPhotos.com profile here.

"... the ScanMyPhotos.com service could turn out to be the best $50, plus shipping and optional services, you’ll ever spend."

"...the results are well worth it. [ScanMyPhotos.com] ships your original photos back to you by Priority Mail (two or three days), complete with a nicely custom-labeled DVD."

"The scans look very good."

"ScanMyPhotos probably isn’t getting rich by charging only $50 per 1,000 photos. Clearly, the real money is in the optional services, some of which are ingenious and nearly irresistible. For example, for $125, the company will send you a pre-addressed shipping box that holds 1,600 photos (4 x 6); the price includes scanning and prepaid shipping both ways. If you buy two, you get a third box free, making the deal, when you consider postage, even better than the $50 offer."

"... you can order a hardbound, custom-printed book containing every single scanned picture; the company even rotates the vertical shots upright for you. The layout is not fancy — the pictures are small and numbered — but in my family, this book was a huge hit."

Kodak Picture Movie DVD

Our new retail photo experience, The Kodak Experience, is now open. Although our retail photo center was established in 1990, when you are the southern California area, please stop by and say hello. You will experience something that looks brand new, and it is. All new Kodak photo equipment. No more chemistry and super-eco friendly.

The new 30 Minute Photos Etc. [ScanMyPhotos.com] retail photo center solves the biggest problem in photography – how to unlock those pictures in shoeboxes and on your camera phones – point the phone to the Kodak kiosks and instantly get pictures.

I found that most people don’t know what to do with their pictures and images saved on their memory cards and camera phones. The new Kodak Experience Photo Center is designed like Starbucks, as a social event destination for all ages. The new photo experience and inspiration center is easy enough for adults and smart enough for teens. We designed it so Grandparents can even connect with their grandchildren – they have decades of photo memories we scan in minutes and they can now share by adding to the family’s Facebook pages, make DVD movies to watch on TV and more. See link.

As interest in traditional film declined, it was time to reinvent the business; no more film processing now – everything is digital.

How to Restore Your Photos?

2008-08-12T16:22:00.000-07:00

Click here to go directly to the ScanMyPhotos.com Website

There are times that people may have old photographs they would like to restore to save the memories.

Photos usually get damaged with time or if preserved in a frame that had been exposed to direct sunlight for many years. The pictures may get blurred, the color fades and the picture might acquire marks and scratches.

Visit ScanMyPhotos.com photo restoration services, we magically fix your pictures.

A photographic image looks like something that will last forever, but even the most modern prints are not designed to last for more than a few decades. Black-and-white photographs, made up of light-sensitive silver salts known as silver halides, last longer. But color photographs and slides, which are made up of dyes and plastics, are more fragile. Still, any photograph will eventually succumb to the effects of a hostile environment and a host of natural enemies. Photo restoration services are the pound of cure which can be avoided by preserving intact photos today.

The Bad Guys

-High temperature and relative humidity The emulsion layer of a photograph, the light-sensitive component that actually captures the image, is made up of organic materials, including gelatin. That makes the emulsion susceptible to mold and fungi, especially when subject to the combination of heat and moisture. Photographs should be stored in a cool, dry place, below about 68º Fahrenheit and under 50% relative humidity.

-Ultraviolet Light Go ahead. Tempt the fates. Hang a color photograph on a wall in your house where the sun hits it every day, and you can start watching it fade within just a few years. To prevent fading, keep your photographs out of direct exposure to sunlight. If you absolutely must display that picture in that perfect spot, you buy special filters to protect the photo. Another good idea is to make one copy for long-term storage and a second for display. Take intact photos in to a photo professional to be scanned and archived to disk. If you've recently had a photo restoration done, make sure to have a digital copy on file.

-Wood and Paper Products What could be more natural than a tree, That may be true, but many wood and paper products contain harmful acids, bleaches and other chemicals that can damage the emulsion of your photograph over time. Use only acid-free paper products. When shopping for "archival" products, make sure you are getting what you pay for - there is no accepted "archival" labeling standard.

-Adhesives & Rubber. Remember those easy-to-use sticky-back photo albums. Bad news and we all know it. But most adhesives, including the rubber cement often used in so-called "magnetic" photo albums, contain harmful chemicals such as PVC that will eventually destroy your photographs. Rubber bands can have the same effect. That makes them both a big no-no.

-Air pollutants. It may come as a surprise, but even the fumes from household cleaning products and fresh paint can damage photos. You probably won't notice the effects right away, but in time they will become painfully obvious.

-Metallic Objects. On a more practical level, metallic objects such as keys and paper clips can scratch the surfaces of your prints and negatives. Don't clip your photos together, and try not to store them in the same box as your screwdrivers.

A Word of Hope

Preserving photographs, which are organic and temporary by their very nature, may seem like an uphill battle. But with smart decisions about storing and displaying your photos, it doesn't have to be. Follow the tips in our next article and you'll be that much closer to making your photo collection last a lifetime. Photo restoration and photo retouching is our business, but preserving precious family photos is our mission at ScanMyPhotos.com.

Tips For Organizing Your Photos (via I3A)

2008-08-10T20:13:00.000-07:00

With today's digital cameras, it's easy to take a lot of photos. Yet if you don't take steps to organize them, it will be difficult to find the ones you want later. It's much easier to organize a bit at a time - or as you capture your digital photos - than to wait until you have so many that it seems overwhelming.
One way to organize your photos is by creating categories. Do it in a way that makes sense to you! After all, as long as you follow the naming guidelines, there's no "right" or "wrong" way. The following ideas may inspire you to choose a method that works naturally with the way you think:

Organize by date
The number of photos you have or intend to have will determine your categories - years, seasons, months or days. If you take a lot of photos throughout the year, this may be the best way.

Organize by subject
If you shoot most of your photos during special occasions, you many want to categorize them by "key words or phrases" - Family-Reunion, Ethans_Graduation, European_Vacation, Hobbies, and the like.

Sort by project
If you want to share your photos by "special projects", you may want to give them titles - E-mails_to_Mom, Vacation_Album, Fathers_Day_Slideshow, Friends_Collage and the like.
Combination approachWith this method, you can organize by subject, and within the subject folders use "date sorting". Re-naming your favorite photos with the date will help with sorting. For example, in a folder such as "European_Vacation", rename a photo in this way - "2006_09_05_Joe.jpg" - to help you easily sort by date. (Try it - you'll be surprised at how well it works!)

These movie DVDs are separate from your scanned DVD data disc files and are just like any other movie that you watch on your DVD player. There is a separate charge, in addition to all scanning services for this added service.

Pay just $34.95 for the first copy and $14.95 for each duplicate copy.

Enjoy this added feature from KODAK after your generations of photo memories are digitally preserved by ScanMyPhotos.com. Order your own multi-media KODAK Picture Movie DVDs from your favorite 60 pictures, includes your choice of music* from popular artists and all orders are completed and mailed back with your order on the same day it is received.

The KODAK Picture Movie DVD even includes special pan and zoom effects for a true movie experience. That’s all there is to it!

Watch your favorite photos on TV, Ordering is super-easy and super-fast. Watch this!

Why only 60 pictures? Even though the average ScanMyPhotos.com order is about 2,500 images scanned, we have found that to retain viewer interest and preserve the special impact that the most important photos represent, 60 pictures is the perfect quantity, without having your guests' eyes begin to close.

Or, choose the standard service where you mail in your pictures in your own box to add this new feature
