Shoebox, Photo Scan, NYC Q&A

Are my photos returned after the scan?
 

Absolutely Yes.
They won't go outside of our store.

Can you scan my photos in numerical order?
  No. Photos have to be fed into the scanner by their sizes.
We cannot process by customer's numerical order.

Can you scan 35mm Negative Film and/or 35mm Slide Film?
  Yes.
We can combine 35mm negative and/or 35mm slide films together with photos.
The price is the same as photos.

How big are the digital files from this Shoebox Scan?
  Your photos will be scanned 300 dpi at the size of the original photo
and saved as jpg files on a disc.
The resulting files can be used for making good photos about the same size as the original
or even a little bigger. Also it is good for E-mail, Web sharing or graphic editings.
For example, a 4x6 photo will be digitized to about 6mb file,
then compressed to a 200kb size jpeg file.
By using this compressing technique called jpeg format, we can put
hundreds or thousands photos on a CD or DVD.

Can you scan in higher than 300 dpi resolution?
  Yes.
We can scan at 600 dpi, which means you will get 4 times bigger files.
You can print almost double the size of originals.
A 4x6 photo is about 24mb in original then compressed to 300 - 500kb file.
50 % additional charge applies

What format digital file are they?
  Jpeg files.
We can save in uncompressed Tiff files with 50 % additional charge.
In real world however, with these rather small files(up to 8x10 originals),
it doesn't make much of quality difference between jpeg and Tiff.

What am I getting with the basic Shoebox Scan plan?
  A CD or DVD with digital photo data (jpeg files) on.

Can I play Shoebox Scan CD on my DVD player ?
 

Unless you order a movie DVD, the answer is basically No.
Because the files on the CD/DVD are not encoded( = changed) so it will
play as a movie file, instead they are still data files.
In other word, data file doesn't move - they are still image files by themselves.

However, there are two ways to make the data file "move" (play).
1. You can order Movie DVD at $29.95 extra.
or
-2. There are some DVD players on the market that "Play" jpg files as if they are movie file.
You might want to check your DVD player if yours is capable.

Can you use my music as background music for my DVD movie?
  Yes.
With an additional $15.00, we can put your music on the DVD.
Please provide us with your music CD or Mp3 files.

Can you put a title on the Shoebox Scan DVD movie?
  Yes.
The title should be simple and short,
like David's Family Photo or John & Kim's Wedding.

How big or small photos can you scan?
  Regular prices apply to photos from wallet size( 2 1/2 x 3 1/2) to 8x10.

Smaller than wallet size has to be scanned by hand - $2.95 each.
Bigger than 8x10 photo up to 11x 14 - $15.00 each.
