Offered: Scanning old Photos

[capricornus]

Hi,

As the post says - I offer scanning of those precious photos which have been lying neglected in an album or worse, in the attic! This is the best chance for you to preserve them before it is damaged/forgotten for ever.

I do not do restoration/editing i.e. the scan would be a replica of what you see in the original picture but I will scan, make it slightly clearer, crop and digitise it and send it back to you either via Dropbox or on a memory stick. I have experience of doing the same with 500+ photos. I scan them at 720dp & at 24 bit depth, which makes photos amazingly clear, good enough for a second round of printing and sharing it with the younger generation or framing it.

Rates

----------------------

> The minimum charge is ?30 which includes scanning of 10 photos and free postage or hand delivery of photos back to you. The initial rate is high because the ground work is tedious for each job

> For photos more than 10 but less than 50, it is ?0.75/photo (i.e for 50 photos, it would be a total of ?60 - ?30 + 40X?0.75)

> For photos more than 50 but less than 100, it is ?0.60/photo

For larger orders, contact me directly for the cost.

Notes on privacy: I understand that you would be opening up a very personal collection of your favourite memories to a total stranger; as a person concerned about privacy myself, I can guarantee that they would only be seen by me for the purpose of scanning and once the files are transferred over to the customer, I shall be permanently deleting the copy I created.

Hello,

Thanks to all who got in touch. I have a relatively free period leading up to Easter so if you have photos to scan, drop me a message!

Cheers
