Can you restore damaged photographs?
Absolutely.  Torn, discolored and even bent photographs can be digitally retouched once scanned.  In fact, once these photographs have been restored, they can be printed again, often times with great results.  If you wish to have the digital scans from your photographs for later use, just let us know.  There is an additional charge for this service. Check the pricing guide for more information.

Can I use negatives or slides without having prints?
Sure.  Slides and negatives can be scanned just as easily as prints.  Be sure they are packaged carefully before submitting them for use.  We know how important these items can be: we will take the utmost care in ensuring they are returned to you exactly as you left them.

I plan on using photos from a digital camera.  Is that okay?
Yes.  But there are some things to be aware of:
1. Digital cameras vary greatly in quality.  If you have a choice, use prints, slides or negatives.
2. Be sure your pictures are shot at a middle to high quality setting, with as little compression as possible.

What file format should my scans or digial photos be in?
We can convert from nearly every graphic format, either PC or Mac.  Whatever format your digital photos are in, we'll make sure they look their best on screen.

Should I be concerned about using copyrighted music?
No.  Because your video is intended for private, non-commercial use, using copyrighted music is covered under the Digital Home Recording Act of 1992.

I'm in a hurry!  Can you finish my video in a few days?
Sure.  However, a standard 50% RUSH charge will be added.
