Jennifer and Mike are in their mid 50’s, have been happily married for almost 25 years, have 3 wonderful children who are grown and have taken an interest in the family history, photo albums, and old slide collection. Mike and Jennifer want to preserve the family photos and old slides and make them all available to the entire family. They have thousands of snapshots dating back to the 50’s of their parents, their wedding, the kids growing up, and now the grand kids. Jennifer and Mike are proficient enough with the computer but they don’t care to tackle this project themselves and want a solution that will cost effectively give them digital images from their shoe boxes and carousels that are ready to use, share, print, email, upload, and preserve. Mike and Jennifer choose to use our Silver processing because this solution best met their needs, while offering the best value for their money. They ordered extra copies of their disks and distributed them to their children. They now have the family history backed up and in digital form. They no longer need to worry about a disaster, and have laughed and cried while reliving their lives digitally.

Charles is a more of a shutterbug. He’s been interested in photography almost all of his life. He’s a professional landscape photographer who occasionally shows some of his more abstract work at a gallery downtown. He recently upgraded to a high end Nikon digital SLR and quit using his favorite Fujichrome Velvia slide film. Now that he’s proficient with Photoshop he’s been enjoying the benefits of digital photography by editing the RAW files from his Nikon SLR. He wanted the ability to do the same thing with all the old slides he has on file but he didn't want to invest $2,500.00 on his own Nikon Coolscan 9000 scanner. He decided to use our Bronze scanning service to get his best slides and some medium format shots into digital form. He’s been sending us his slides and film in batches as he gets time. He chose our Bronze service because we could provide him with un-edited, dust and scratch free, scans at 4,000ppi for a small fee. He knew that the files we provided him would be uncompressed TIFF files, and that there would be no cropping, rotation, or color correction performed on them. He’s been doing this himself because he wanted to fine tune things for his very specific needs. Bronze scans serve the needs of someone like Charles well, but are not well suited for Jennifer and Mike, or Steve and Linda because Bronze scans require editing before they’re ready to use.
