Paper prints are the most fragile family record you own. They fade in albums, stick to plastic sleeves and curl at the corners. A scan stops the clock and gives you a file you can back up, share with relatives and print again.
What I scan
- Snapshots, studio portraits and school photographs
- Wedding and event prints
- Postcards and cabinet cards
- Documents and small certificates that sit among the photos
Prints that are torn, stained or faded can still be scanned. The scan then becomes the starting point for photo restoration.
How it works
- You tell me roughly how many prints you have and what shape they are in.
- I send a quote and a turnaround. The resolution is agreed with you, and the guide to choosing a scanning resolution explains how to decide.
- You drop the prints off in Smoky Lake, arrange a pick-up, or post them with Canada Post.
- I scan each print, check the file against the original and send the files by secure download. Your originals come back to you.
What you receive
Full-resolution digital files, named so they stay in order. If you plan to restore some of the prints, tell me which ones and I note them.
Good to know
Tell me about anything delicate, such as prints stuck in an album, when you ask for a quote, and I tell you how I would handle it.
