File Data Storage: The prices quoted above are for the conversion of your images into digital files. The cost of the media to hold your data is in addition to the scanning charges. The best media for your files will depend on the total size of your image library, and your personal preference.

We offer several options for loading your data: standard DVDs (4.7GB capacity, $5.00 ea.), Blu-Ray DVDs, which range from 4.7GB up to 25GB, and cost between $6.00 - $9.00/disc, and flash drives, which start at $8.00 for 8GB.

Prices for larger drives will be quoted when your job is completed and we know what size drive would be needed. Flash drives are like lobster - prices vary greatly over time, and we base our charges on the price that is currently available. Of course, flash drives have the advantage that they can be repurposed once you have downloaded your files - or, you can simply keep them loaded with your data as an additional backup, and a convenient way to have your files with you.

If you have a preference for a particular file storage medium, you can indicate that on yourrequest/order form. If your initial choice is not practical due to the size of your data set, we will contact you to discuss alternatives.

We offer pick-up and delivery services; either free, or for a small mileage charge, depending on the size of your scanning order and the distance involved. For orders which incur a delivery charge, the per-mile cost is based on the one-way driving distance as calculated byGoogle Mapsfrom ourshipping addressto your location. The total charge is based on the round-trip distance, plus any tolls incurred, for each trip. The mileage charge ranges from $0.10 - $0.30/mi. You can check your delivery costs, if any, using the following table ("x" indicates that the service is not available for that combination of order size and distance):

Note that if these companies do any post-processing, they use "Digital Ice" to "automatically" remove dust and dirt from the images. Automated solutions are a comporomise at best. We hand-process all work for our Premier Service. The same is true for all adjustments made to images for color and exposure improvement.

Retouching & Restoring Photographs

We provide photograph retouching and restoration services at the rate of $40/hr. Our policy is to work in time blocks of 15 minutes (maximum, or $10/block), and save a copy of the work at that point. We then upload watermarked copies of the resulting images from each time block to Drobox, and send you an email with the link, and the cost of each block's image.

If you decide that you want to purchase one of the images (either the end-point, or an intermediate stage), then we send you an invoice, and send you the clear version of the image file once your invoice has been paid. That way, you have control over the process (and the cost) and do not have to be concerned about ending up with a large, unexpected bill, or a photo restoration that you are not happy with.

If you do not wish to purchase any of the resulting images, then you owe us nothing, and we will simply return your original material.

As a way of introducing you to our Service, we invite you to try our Slide, Negative or Photograph Scanning Service for FREE. We will scan up to six slides, eight negatives, or 1 - 4 photographs (depending on size) absolutely free of charge (See the Free-Scans Request Form). The resulting jpeg images will be sent to you via Dripbox, and your originals will be sent back to you in a return envelope that you will provide to us.

To get your free scans, just fill out the Free-Scans Request Form and submit it online. We will reply with an email providing you with instructions on how to send us your negatives or photos, along with a mailing label that you will need to use for your envelope. Please do not send us any materials without receiving this instructive email.

Large Orders:

Large orders will be sectioned into file sub-directories of about 50-100 images, and all orders will include an Index image that contains thumbnail images of each picture, together with its file name. That way you can quickly search for a particular image, or easily review all of the images in the file. Of course, we will organize the images into specific categories of your choosing if you provide the necessary instructions.

Please note that if you have both a negative and a photographic print of that negative, it is always best to send us the negative to be digitized. That insures that you will have all off the detail of the original picture in your digital file, without the losses that can occur when the negative image is processed to make a print. Many automatic photo processors apply automatic "corrections" to prints that are actually distortions of the original image. By scanning the negative, you will recover any detail that was lost due to a poor printing process.

Remember - Digital Conversions LLC provides the lowest cost photo scanning services.
