Digital
ICE® Technology is used Standard in Processing for Color
Slides and Negatives.
DIGITAL
ICE® infrared technology aids in the removal of surface
defects, such as dust and scratches. It differentiates itself
from software-only solutions because it does not soften,
blur or otherwise alter any underlying details or composition
of the original image. Instead, the patented DIGITAL ICE®
technology works from within the scanner, during the scanning
process, to provide a clear, authentic base image that improves
the original image. |
You
can expect excellent quality results. We use industry
standard
Nikon Coolscan 5000 and 9000 dedicated film scanners to
digitize your film. |

Customized
Subject Groupings
You
may prepare your film in whatever order you want and in the original
packaging, including envelopes, archival storage sheets, shoeboxes,
etc. Any separate subject groupings will be placed in a folder
by that name on the storage disc to keep you organized. If your
negatives are not in any particular order now, you may find it
easier to organize the digital images after scanning rather than
before scanning. |

Scanning
Resolution |
Scanning
Resolution refers to the depth of pixel
data captured from an image. The higher the resolution,
the more pixel data is captured, resulting in a larger
and more detailed image. This is important when making
prints, cropping, or zooming in. The choice of resolution
ultimately depends on how the images will be used. Keep
in mind that higher resolution also yields a larger
digital image size, taking up more storage capacity. |

Benefits
of Transferring your Negatives to Digital Format |
Bring
Past Memories to New Life and Preserve for Future Generations
We are living
in a digital age. Transferring film to digital format not only
opens up many new possibilities for viewing, but allows you to
back up and protect your memories from loss due to fire, flood,
or any other natural disaster. |
|
Make Prints at Home or any Photo Lab
The jpeg images
you will receive are Photoshop enhanced and print ready. The
standard scanning resolution is suitable for standard size prints
and the high resolution is best for printing up to 8" x
10" or larger, depending on the film format. |
|
Computer, Email, Internet, and other Multi-Media uses
You
will receive a set of digital images downsized for general multi-media
purposes. This is designed for faster viewing and more email
friendly since the file sizes are reduced to about 100k. Also
best suited for applications such as slideshows or powerpoint
viewing. |
|
Transfer to a Memory card and view on a Digital Photo Frame
This
is becoming a popular way to enjoy your photo memories casually
in your home. Imagine having decades of photos randomly cycling
through in a frame on a table or mantle. It serves as a great
conversation piece to relive memories with family and friends. |
 |

is a great way to easily share pictures with family and friends
anywhere. Your gallery is designed specifically to your content
with albums titled for multiple subjects. A gallery also serves
as an additional back up of your images that are hosted on our
servers. This is a great way to organize your photos to be accessible
from any computer connected to the internet.

Negative
Scanning FAQ |
I
have a large collection of negatives I would like to have digitized.
Where should I start?
Your negatives may or not be organized right now. One option is
to send all of your negatives and once they are all digital images
on a disc, you will be able to create folders and drag and drop
images into various subjects. If your negatives are already organized,
you can send them in groupings with a title name for each grouping.
When they are scanned, a folder will be made with the title name
and all images will be put into that folder on the disc.
If you have a large collection, many customers have chosen to
organize and send them in batches to have scanned. |
I
live in the Twin Cities. Can I drop off and pick up my project
rather than mailing?
Yes, by appointment. We are located in Fridley on the north side
of Minneapolis. Call Chris @ 763-571-4713 or email info@memoriesrenewed.com |
How
do I know what scanning resolution I should choose?
The choice of resolution depends on what you will be using the
digital images for. The higher the resolution, the larger and
more detailed the image will be, but the highest isn't always
necessary or the best option. If you want to print quality enlargements
or if you will be doing any significant cropping, you may want
to choose the higher resolution to achieve the most pixel detail.
If you will be using the images mainly for computer use, without
printing enlargements, the standard resolution will be sufficient. |
Why
is there a price difference between the scanning resolution options?
Two
reasons - time and space. A higher resolution image takes more
time to scan and the file size is also larger and takes up more
storage space. |
I
prefer not to have all frames scanned on my negative strips. Can
you scan specific frames?
Yes, however there is a 25% scanning surcharge as it slows down
the scanning process and requires additional attention. It works
best to provide your negatives in plastic archival sheets, titled,
and with a separate document to indicate which frame numbers you
want to be scanned. |
Does
it cost extra for the CD or DVD storage?
The transfer of your image scans to CD or DVD is included in the
per image pricing. Additional copies are $5 per disc. |
How
many negatives will fit on a CD or DVD?
The answer is that it varies depending on the film format and
the scanning resolution used. As a general rule, less than 200
will fit on a CD and several hundred can fit on a DVD. |
What
is the difference between a CD and a DVD?
Both a CD and a DVD can be used for data storage with the only
difference being the storage size of the disc. A CD will hold
up to 700MB of data, while a DVD holds 4.7GB. In order to access
the images from a DVD on a computer, you will need to have a DVD-Rom
drive in your computer. |
What
file format will my scanned pictures be in?
You may choose JPEG or TIFF format. JPEG is standard in the scanning
pricing and is great for most uses. TIFF is an uncompressed format
and is an additional 15¢
per
image due to the increased file size. To read more on the differences
between the two, click here.
|
Do
I get my negatives back?
Yes, and in the same groupings you sent them in. |
Do
I need to count the exact number of negative frames before sending
them to you?
No, there is no need to do so. Prepayment for scanning is not
required. The number of images and your invoice will be totalled
once all work is completed. |
I
have been considering buying a scanner myself to scan my negatives.
Why should I consider having you do the work instead?
There are consumer grade scanners on the market for you to do
the work yourself, but before tackling a preservation project
as important as this, you should consider the cost of equipment
vs. quality output. Also, don't underestimate the time involved
to do it yourself. It is likely it would be more cost effective
to have the work done professionally. We use professional grade
hardware and software and have perfected an efficient process
to digitize your film at a fraction of the time and cost it may
take to do it on your own. |
