Turn your Old Photo Paper Prints Into Modern Digital Format Albums

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Although digital cameras have been around for a few years and are becoming more and more popular many of us still have a large number of older film camera paper prints, slides and negatives. Most people keep their paper prints and negatives at their homes and only use digital formats for new photos they shoot with their new digital cameras. In this article we will discuss converting your old paper prints into digital format.

Photos are usually kept at home in one of three formats:

# Paper prints: the most common format, usually at sizes like 4X6 and 5X7. Over time paper prints tend to lose their quality. Depending on how well they are kept the paper might turn yellow and bend and the colors might fade.

# Negatives: also known simply as film. This is the processed film usually 35mm from which the prints where made. Although negatives can get damaged over time they are more likely to maintain their high quality. Negatives are hardly used unless new paper prints are needed.

# Slides: very similar to negatives used for projecting photos on a large screen.

There are many advantages to digital photography. Having your photo album in digital format allows you to easily print paper copies either at home or using a printing service, to view your photos on your computer, to share photos with friends and family and maybe most importantly to practically archive your photos for eternity. So if digital format is that good why not convert all those old photos from traditional paper and negatives to digital? Here is how:

There are different considerations when converting from paper to digital. Professional photographers spend a lot of time and money on this process. For most amateurs and consumers very simple methods can be used which are both cheap and easy. Scanning paper prints and negatives requires different equipment and considerations. For most home users scanning the negatives is not necessary.

Scanning paper photos prints

Photo paper prints are easy to scan. You can choose to scan them yourself at home (purchasing a scanner that can do the job is usually cheap and costs less than a $100). You can also choose to mail them (or hand them) to a professional scanning service that will scan them for you and mail you back the originals and a DVD with the digital scans (such services include www.digmypics.com, www.digitalpickle.com, www.britepix.com and many more)

There are pros and cons to scanning at home or using a professional service. If you have a small number of photos scanning at home is easier. If you have plenty of photos using a service might be easier but you can end up spending more money. In addition mailing your one and only hardcopy of your photos is a risk since they might get lost.

If you are going to scan at home consider the following:

# Resolution: the resolution of a scan is measured by the number of dots per inch that the scanner can produce. Most scanners can scan at 1200 DPI or more. Usually the scanner can be set to scan at different resolutions. The higher the resolution the slower the scan and the bigger the photo file size will be. For most paper prints scanning at 300 to 600 DPI is enough but you can experiment scanning at higher resolutions if you feel it provides better results.

# Speed: If you have a small number of photos speed is not an issue. If you have hundreds or more of photos scanning speed becomes important. To get fast scans you would have to scan at the lowest resolution possible that results in good enough scans – for most paper prints 300 to 600 DPI is enough.. Also if you’re going to buy a scanner check the scanning speed (usually measured in the number of scans per minute make sure that you check the speed at the DPI you’re going to use).

# Photo feeding: if you only have a small number of photos this is not an issue. If you have many photos make sure that the scanner you buy allows fast and easy loading of photos. Some higher-end scanners will let you load a stack of photos and will automatically feed and scan them for you. These scanners are the right choice if you are planning on scanning hundreds or more photos.

Scanning negatives and slides

Scanning negatives and slides is harder than scanning paper prints. In most cases it is easier and maybe cheaper to use a professional scanning service. If you want to scan at home your standard flat scanner will not be good enough. In most cases you will need to spend money on purchasing a film/Slide Scanning. Those scanners are more expensive than the flat paper scanners. Negatives and slides are small high resolution sources and thus require scanning at higher DPI than paper prints. In most cases 2400DPI or higher should be used.

The considerations for scanning negatives and slides are similar to scanning paper prints. If you need to scan just a few negatives or slides speed and ease are not important but if you’re going to scan hundreds or more you should spend more money on scanners that can feed the negatives or slides automatically or can just load a roll of film and scan it.

The good news is that in most cases scanning negatives is not needed at all. For most amateurs and consumers scanning home photo paper prints is more than enough and scanning the source negatives is a not needed. It is recommended of course to keep the negatives in a safe place. You can use the digital scans for future prints or just for viewing on your computer screen and sharing with your friends and family.

In conclusion scanning your photo paper prints is easy. You can do it yourself at home or you can use a professional scanning service. You can convert all your memories into digital format with a small investment and make sure that you can enjoy those photos and also keep them in their original quality for eternity.

Secrets To Editing Your Digital Photography

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The world is curious to know more and more about Digital Photography. Over the past several months I have been getting emails with questions on how to edit Digital Photography, people seem to be very upset with gigantic photos and problems with scanners. Problems ranging from sizing to how to add text bubbles, even how to create an oil painting with digital photographs! This article with explore the annoyances of the scanner and how to fix them.

Scanners can sometimes be extremely difficult, some refuse to scan, others come up with half of the picture missing along with other problems that ruin the quality of your photo. If a scanners settings have not been configured properly then the resolution could turn out grainy in your photo. Here are a few tips on how to use your scanner properly:

1 – When you are slide scanning a photo make sure there isn’t any smudging or dirt on your photo. This is important because they will show right a way once you scan the photo. If there are and smudges be careful when you clean them off, the last thing you want are scratches.

2 – It is also important that the scanner is clean. After you have just cleaned your photo you don’t want it getting messy again and you don’t want any fibers showing the scan. Some items you can use are a lint-free pad and window cleaner wipes to clean the glass.

3 – Most scanners will give you the choice of color copying or black and white copying. If you don’t want a black and white scan make sure you select the color scan.

4 – Digital photos can easily become too large or too small on your computer rendering them difficult to edit when you are done scanning. This is easily fixed by setting the resolution to get everything you want out of the picture.

5 – Then hit the preview button. You know those photocopiers in schools, treat your scanner just like one and carefully place your photo on the scanner. Then you want to ask it to preview the picture for you so you don’t have to rescan it later.

6 – The previewed image should now be cropped to ensure you only have the photo in it. Cropping to your specific needs can be done later.

7 – During the scan the last thing you want to do is move the photo or disrupt the scan, any changes you want made can be made on the computer.

8 – Once the image is on your computer check the size of the image to make sure you didn’t mess up the resolution settings while scanning. If the image is too large it may crash an older computer, but generally it has to be gigantic to do that.

9 – Make sure you have a scan of the original image. It doesn’t take too long to do it but it may take a few minutes if you are scanning at a high resolution.

All these tips certainly helped me when I was having trouble with my scanner.

As you can probably see, editing digital photography is becoming more in demand. People want to be able to know what exactly their program or machine can do instead of dealing with how the photo looks straight off the camera. As digital photography becomes popular people are using it to make money with cheap e-books that are difficult to understand. Don’t waste too much money and time on those. Eventually digital photography will completely replace normal film cameras and the computers will become easier to use.

Photos: why do we take them?

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Some may remember posing for an “impromptu” photo opportunity during every family gathering. You stood there frozen, with cemented smiles as you wondered if Aunt Thelma would ever take the photograph. Cheese…… then Bam! You were blinded by the bright flash bulb.

Auntie had the right idea. She wanted to memorialize every event. It didn’t matter if the developed film never made it out of the card board envelopes. What was important is that she enjoyed taking photos. Amateur photographers everywhere are still snapping pictures as a favorite pastime.

Photography is a good means to chronicle someone’s life. A picture tells a thousand words, so what an excellent way to document special moments, highlights and milestones. Over time, our memory isn’t as iron-clad as it once was. With photographs you can still recall the special moment even when the memory fades.

Photography is good for your well being. Reflect on all the studies that talk about how beneficial laughter is to your health. Now consider your emotions when you see photos of a new baby, or a wedding, or any of the other adorable photos that are found in email in-boxes on a daily basis. They make you happy! Photos elicit positive emotions.

Think about the people who were in south Texas during the winter of 2004. I’m sure they were happy to be down there when they had snow for the first time in over 100 years. There were people outside taking pictures at midnight; what an opportunity!

Have you ever seen deer on the side of the road? Not too many bucks will stop long enough to be photographed. If you’re fortunate enough to see sitting deer, you better hope to have a camera with you; as they likely won’t be sitting there waiting for you the next time you drive by.

While some people still prefer film cameras, digital cameras now come in any size or budget. For the novice photographer who merely enjoys taking photographs as a way to relax or capture those one of a kind moments, suitable digital cameras are available for under $100.

Some people are still using 1.3 mega pixel digital cameras. By today’s standard, that is considered a dinosaur. However it would still work if the photographer just wanted to take an occasional photo to list items for sale on eBay. Today many amateur photographers are using digital cameras with 4-6 mega pixels.

As a rule of thumb, the higher the mega pixel, the higher the price tag. Notwithstanding, higher mega pixel cameras also come with more bells and whistles and have a higher resolution. Most all digital cameras also have a timer and ability to make very small movie clips. Many also have zoom lens features.

With digital photography it is fun to play around with new technology. Create a screen saver of your best photo with ImageBox from CoolUtils. If you came back from Hawaii and have lots of great photos that you want not to just show to your friends but amaze them – make an astonishing slideshow. Imagine all pictures will be shown one by one with different effects, accompanied by music and your comments. Your friends will be amazed! Don’t think about how difficult it is you will create your first slideshow in 6 minutes.

There are software programs that allow you to make digital images look better than real life by removing unwanted blemishes, moles, or wrinkles. Experiment with the software to add or remove people or objects from the photo. New technology provides the ability to alter a photograph so that it looks like an oil painting, pencil sketch, Slide Scanning, negative, sepia, black and white, charcoal drawing and a plethora of other options.

While it is possible to make a living as a photographer, the majority of camera users simply take photos because they enjoy it. It’s true that time will not stand still. The taunting school aged children had it right when they responded to stares, “Take a picture why don’t you it’ll last longer!”

Do not throw away your old photo paper prints

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Many people still have large number of old fashion photo paper prints in their homes. Even if you threw away your old film camera and you are exclusively using digital there is a good chance that you still have many photos that are important to you in paper prints format. It is a good idea to upgrade those prints to the new digital format here is how,

It is most likely that your photo prints are organized in this way or another in photo albums. The old fashion photo album book had two main purposes. First it was intended to allow for easier organization and browsing of photos as photo albums can be categorized by event, year or any in any other way that make sense to you. The second purpose was to protect the paper prints. Paper ages it fades and turn yellow. Albums are safer provide a safer environment allowing paper prints to last longer.

There are three main types of old fashion prints: paper, slide scanningand negatives. Paper prints are the most common format. The usually come in standard sizes like 4X6 and 5X7. Negatives which are developed film are saved to allow future new prints of your photos. Slides are similar to negatives but they allow projection of the photo on a big screen using a special slide projector.

Upgrading your old photo paper stack involves some technique of converting paper photos to digital pixel based photos. This process is also known as scanning. While there are many different techniques and equipment for scanning in essence all scanning process are similar. Some device is used to electronically read or view the paper photo and convert it into a series of pixels each with its unique color and intensity. All those pixels put together comprise a digital photo that can be store as a computer file. This computer file, usually in the common JPEG format can then be used as any other digital camera photo file.

Different scanning methods vary in cost and quality. While you can spend a large sum of money to professionally scan your photos for most home users a cheap and simple scanning method will suffice. Photo paper prints can be effectively scanned by a simple scanner device that you can buy for less than $100. This process is time consuming though since you will need to manually feed every photo to the scanner. For a large number of photos you could choose to either by a more sophisticated scanner with an automatic photo feeder or to mail your photo prints to a professional scanning service.

One thing to consider when scanning photo prints is the scanning resolution: The same way that your digital camera has a mega pixels number that determines the number of pixels in a digital photo scanners have a similar attribute that determines how many mega pixels are going to be in the converted digital photo file. This is also known as the scanner resolution and it is measured by the number of dots per inch that the scanner can produce. Most scanners can scan at 1200 DPI or more. Most scanners can also be set to scan in less of their maximum resolution. The higher the resolution the slower the scan and the bigger the digital photo file size. So what is the right resolution? The rule of thumb is that for most paper prints scanning at 300 to 600 DPI is enough as usually the print quality itself is not higher than that.

After you have converted your paper prints to digital photo files you can do anything that you can do with any other digital camera generated photo files. In addition to simply viewing them on your computer screen, you can share them with family and friends, use photo processing software to enhance them and more. And the most important thing, once converted to digital photo files they will never fade, turn yellow or lose their quality.

Digital Photo Restoration Sheds Light on Old Photographs

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Digital photo restoration is nothing short of the work of true artists with a love for old photographs. When the art of restoration first appeared, it was a marvel. Specialty shops, for a rather hefty price, could sharpen borders, replace missing edges, and brighten the color.

Today, photos can be scanned and emailed to any photography shop in the world that retouches old photos, and the finished product can be emailed back to the customer fairly quickly and for much cheaper than before. Photo restoration today doesnt stop with the edges and borders of a photograph; missing chunks of pictures, even in the middle of the photo, can be replaced. In addition, artists can add people and furniture to a photo that were not in the original one. It is easy for a customer to submit any photos, slide scanning, or negatives to a company for this service. In addition to emailing the picture file, it is very convenient, easy, and safe to upload the picture to the company.

The traditional way is to bring the original photograph in hand to a shop that specializes in this type of work. Of course, photos can be mailed to artists as well. Digital photo restoration is safe, inexpensive, and easy to use for the customer.

Photo Restoration: How It Works
The first thing that restoration artists do when they receive an old or damaged picture is to evaluate the damage. Rips, folds, and color issues are addressed, and an estimate of what it will cost to repair the issues is relayed to the customer. One of the greatest things about digital restoration is that the original photograph is NEVER altered. The only thing that is tinkered with is the scanned copy. This is especially important for those who bring their photos into a shop as opposed to emailing or uploading them. The customer then is given the estimate for the work, and the fun begins. Usually within a day or two, thanks to incredible technology today, the customer is shown an initial test version of the picture, restored.

If needed, the client can express their need for any further changes to the photo. If additional changes are requested, the customer will receive another test version for review. Once the customer is satisfied with the restored, fresh looking photo, orders for prints, reprints, and other special services can be ordered and filled.

Digital Restoration: The Benefits
The most obvious benefit to restoring old photos digitally is that the end result is much more suitable for framing and displaying to family and friends. A more colorful, uninterrupted image is much more aesthetically pleasing than a torn, worn, and shorn one. Another great reason to get an old photo retouched is renewability. People can rest easy knowing that there are 50 copies of Great Aunt Louises picture in existence, as opposed to Uncle Hebert having the only copy on the planet.

Retouched or repaired photographs make excellent additions to family trees, histories, and family Bibles, too. People always say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and digital photo restoration is the perfect way to make sure that no matter how many years those words have been around, they will never go unheard.

The Greatness of a Photo Scanning Service

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

A photo scanning service can bring the most damaged of photographs back to its original splendor, and usually can actually make the digital restored photo look better than the original one. A photo scanning service is a business that can professionally scan photos for you, repairing them and restoring them along the way. When your irreplaceable pictures need to be put into good hands, a photo scanning service does a great job.

A photo scanning service will have you mail to them your photos that need scanning. Once they receive your photos, they will start out by looking up your order that you placed with them previously, either on their website or via phone. The photo scanning service will start by cleaning the printed photographs that you sent in to them using only compressed air. Sometimes, in addition to the air, they may also use a soft cloth to clean them. A photo scanning service should never use any chemicals or liquids to clean your pictures; this could have devastating effects and create permanent damage to the photo.

A photo scanning service will then place the prints on a high quality flatbed scanner. You may want to check with your photo scanning service to make sure they do not use an automated scanning system, because the automated ones do not turn out as good as manually scanned ones. Your photos should be scanned at around 600DPI, just to be sure to capture all of the details of the photo.

When a photo scanning service is finished scanning, the photo scanning service can complete a number of different post scan restoration steps. Some of the services that they can do to the scans for you include color correction, rotation, exposure correction, and cropping. For images that are heavily faded or color worn, extra treatment can be done for color restoration to enhance the photos.

When the photo slide scanning and refinishing are finished, your preview versions of your images usually are available online for you to view. The photo scanning service will usually let you delete any images that you dont want; you only pay for what you are happy with. After you have reviewed the scanned images online, the photo scanning service will return the digital images to you on DVDs or CDs and your original photos.

What To Do With Old Landscape Photography Negatives

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

If you are one of those people with boxes of old negatives in your basement or hall closet, you are not alone. Photography has been a popular hobby with people ever since the invention of the first camera. One problem that professional and amateur photographers alike have always faced is deciding the proper way to preserve their art once it has been shot and developed.

The good news is that if you are one of those people with boxes of old negatives and pictures old enough to be in the historical archives, many companies offer 35mm Slide Scanning services, and digital photo restoration. Scanning a negative not only allows for the development of the image, but also enhanced digital clarity, even for the oldest negatives. Photo restoration can also repair sun damage and scratches.

While there are many companies that offer these services, here are some things that you should look for when choosing a photo restoration and slide scanning service: High resolution is very important so having 3000 dpi slide scanning services for 35mm slides, as well as 110,120,126,127, and 200 format slides is optimal. Also having state of the art slide scanners and scanning equipment is crucial.

Landscape photography involves a section or portion of scenery seen from a single viewpoint as the subject of the image.

Typically, people and animals are not shown in a landscape portrait, unless they are included in the composition to illustrate scale. Some photographers disagree as to whether man made structures, the coast, and cities should be included in a landscape, since a landscape is designed to showcase natural features.

The Benefits Of Photo Slide Scanning

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Photo slide scanning plays a very important part in the process of photo restoration. Photo slide scanning provides a workable foundation for restorers to work on photos that need work, without having to alter the original photo in any way. When an original photograph is tinkered with, there is great risk for irreparable damage to occur to the photograph.

When people handle their pictures and negatives, they do many things, unintentionally, that are very harmful to them, and most do not even know they are damaging their photos. Photo slide scanning can produce corrected copies of old photos and photos that have been damaged.

Photo slide scanning can help with restoring photos that have been damaged by common wear. Besides sticking fingers all over the pictures, there are more than fingerprints that can slowly destroy your paper memories. Pictures are actually made of gelatin and tiny silver particles. This makes them susceptible to bug infestation, mold, mildew, and humidity.

Unfortunately, many things that are made for use with pictures are the very things that hasten their disintegration. Photo slide scanning can give you a picture that is free from the damage that has occurred to your originals. Many picture boards, cardboards, and most glues contain an acid that slowly eats away at the pictures. Even the chemicals that are used to develop the film from negatives are to blame for the eventual demise of these photographs. Photo slide scanning can give you corrected duplicates of your original, damaged, photos.

Photo slide scanning can correct sunlight induced fading damage. Most people are commonly aware that sunlight will ruin photographs. Even pictures that were never intentionally put in the sun can still show damage, even if the sun hit the picture for a few minutes each day.

Photo slide scanning can provide a smooth replacement for a sticky, corroded picture. Never use rubber cement to adhere photographs to anything. The acids in rubber cement will ruin the picture quickly, cracking the emulsion and paper backing. Rubber cement contains sulfur, which reacts with the silver that sentences pictures to certain death!

Scrapbooking and photo album hobbies have become very popular ways for people to store and share their photos. It is best to use pictures that have undergone photo slide scanning for these projects, with the original pictures stored properly. You should not use originals in these albums, but the photo Slide Scanning copies work well. Do not use the photo albums that have the self adhesive pages covered by clear plastic film.

The glue, again here too, is acidic. Never display your pictures in vinyl sleeves. The sleeves are made out of a certain type of plastic that will cause both color and black and white photos to fade. However, if you find pictures that are dear to you that have fallen victim to any of these damaging mishaps, photo scanning can make it all better, and can even make your pictures better than they originally were.
