Don't Want, Don't
Pay™
Don’t want some of your scans? Delete them!
Once we scan and manually color and exposure correct each of your images you'll
be able to review your newly scanned photos online and delete the ones you don't
want. We'll deduct the full scanning charge for each deleted photo for up to 35%
of the photos in each type of photo in your order.
This saves you the time and frustration of looking through all of your photos to
decide what is worth sending in to scan, just send your entire collection and delete
the ones you don't want online! Learn more about Don't Want,

Choose Your Resolution
Choose to have your Prints scanned at 2MP(300dpi) or 8MP(600dpi)!
Choose to have your Film scanned at 7MP(2500dpi), 12MP(3200dpi), or 18MP(4000dpi)!
However, remember that more resolution isn't always better. We scan standard prints
at 300 or 600 dpi (dots per inch). That means that from a 4x6 print at 300 dpi you'll
get an image that is 1200 x 1800 pixels or 2400 x 3600 for 600 dpi. From our tests,
300 dpi provided the best balance between quality and size using standard photographs
for viewing and printing purposes. If you plan to do significant cropping on the
images, or plan to make reprints at up to double the original photo's size, you
may want to consider 600 dpi.
For film, you have your choice of 2500, 3200, or 4000 dpi. We recommend the 2500dpi
option for most of our customers. A 35mm slide or negative scanned at 2500 dpi will
give you an image size that is suitable for making a good 8"x10" reprint. Some commercial
grade film can have an increased grain pattern at 3200 dpi, and a significant grain
or noise pattern at 4000 dpi. This is because the resolution actually outdoes the
amount of information in the film. If your film is good quality and taken at a low
ASP, then 3200 or 4000 dpi maybe a good option for you.
