A. The resolution determines the amount of detail from the original picture that is captured and stored in a digital copy of your images. Higher resolutions capture more detail. The type and quality of the original picture and the intended use of the digital image determine the appropriate resolution. We will work with you to determine the proper resolution that we will use to digitize your pictures.
A. After your pictures are digitized (converted to digital images) and processed the digital copy is stored on a external hard drive, CD or DVD. Pictures stored on in a DVD format can be viewed on TV using a home DVD player.
A. That depends on the quality of the original, the type of the original ie. 35mm or print, and the intended use ie. Viewed as web images or high resolutions images suitable for enlarging and printing. We will work with you to help you determine the resolution. We can scan your original image at a resolution 300dpi or 600dpi.

A. It depends on the format used to store the image, and the resolution. Typical ranges are:
DVD disks can hold 250 to 500 high quality pictures.
CD disks can hold 40 to 100 high quality pictures.
JPEG file sizes are approximate and will vary depending on the image content. Some images compress in JPEG better than others. Now you're probably wondering how many images fit on a disc. That's easy to figure out, too. A CD can hold 650MB while a DVD can hold 4700 MB (4.7 GB).
Amount of Prints that would fit on a CD or DVD.
These numbers are estimates. Actual results may vary.

3x5 | 650 | 4700 | 185 | 1342 |
4x6 | 430 | 3100 | 130 | 940 |
