No, an estimate is absolutely fine. We won’t scan more than what you’ve ordered without speaking with you first. When your order arrives will do a quick sense check to see if everything is in the right ballpark.

We will also reduce the order price if you've overestimated!

If you’re not sure how to get at a realistic number here is a rough guide to help you:

Photos:

• 1” of photos is about 100 photos.

• On average, a shoe box holds about 600 photos, with a maximum of around 900 if they are standard 4×6 prints.

Slides

• 1” of slides is about 20 slides.

If you’re nearby we can pop by and help you with an estimate.

If you have a print and negative of the same photo, it’s usually best to scan the negative. This is because we can often capture better resolution, better colour, and overall higher quality images. You also often get a bit extra around the edges of the image! But don’t worry if you’ve only got a print, we can also a great scan of them as well.

Sometimes with older prints you’ll find that they have a metallic silver shine to them. This occurs when the silver from the photochemical process has worked its way through the paper and creates a metallic shine on the photo paper. It’s impossible to see through with the human eye, but with the right equipment and a few tricks, we can bring these photos back to life. In light of the additional work required, silvered prints incur an additional fee per image.

If you're within about 10 miles of East Leake, we aim to collect your media personally. Otherwise, we arrange a trusted courier service with convenient drop-off options.

Yes, please contact us to arrange a suitable time for drop-off.

Yes, we can coordinate a courier service or provide guidance for safe mailing.

We work hard to turn around projects in a timely manner and we aim to have your images scanned within a couple days of receipt. However, for transparency’s sake, this is a part-time enterprise for us and we want to deliver you amazing high resolution scans rather than rush things through. That means, when we’re busy, most projects are going to take a couple of weeks rather than a couple of days.

However, given that often our photos have been sitting around for years (if not decades) most of our customers don’t mind waiting a little longer.

That said, if you are working to a tight deadline please do let us know and we will do our best to expedite your order.

Your original media and digitised images on USB will be returned via courier or personal delivery, depending on your location.

We scan prints, slides, negatives, albums, scrapbooks, and more. If you’re wondering if we’ll be able to capture what you’ve got, why not get in touch. I suspect that if we can see it, we can likely scan it.

We scan photo prints at 600 PPI and slides and negatives at 4,000 PPI. This aligns with industry best practices, technical limits of photography, and The National Archives guidelines for the preservation of photo materials.

PPI stands for pixels per square inch (i.e., the number of pixels that are squeezed within each square inch of your digital image.)

We deliver most projects on a USB thumb drive, however if you’re project is really large we’ll put it onto an external hard drive. We can also provide multiple drives if you need more for gifts or backups.

We deliver high-quality JPEG files for all scanned media. If you’d prefer a different file format such as TIFF or DNG just let us know. We can deliver other file formats at no extra cost, but your storage needs might increase 10x.
