Our Photo Scanning Process
Once your photo collection is received at our secure scanning facility in Lagos or Uyo, it is labeled and logged into our order tracking system. Your project is then assigned to one of our experienced scanning technicians who will treat your keepsakes with the upmost care and determine the best scanner(s) to use for your photos, albums or scrapbooks. All photos are scanned by hand using state-of-the-art imaging equipment to ensure the highest quality. Pictures are scanned in order; digital folders are created and named by the label on each bundle, batch or album.
After scanning, your newly created image files are cropped, rotated, color corrected and enhanced to make them look their absolute best. Our quality control team reviews each scanned photo and flags poor quality images for re-scanning as necessary. Finally, the enhanced images are placed onto your deliverable of choice (data disc, flash-drive, or online download).
Our Photo Scanning Process
Photo resolution is measured in Dots Per Inch (DPI) and refers to the amount of information or pixels a digital photo contains. The higher the resolution a picture is scanned at, the more detail is captured and the more flexibility you will have to enlarge and edit the pictures down the road. Depending on what you plan to do with your digital photos will determine the best resolution for you to have them scanned at. The difference in resolution won’t be very noticeable when viewed on your iPhone or laptop. However, if you zoom in for editing, project onto a screen or reprint the images larger than the original size the differences will become apparent.- 300 DPI This is the standard for all print media. When you digitize old photos at 300 DPI, they are perfect for viewing and sharing on digital devices and can be printed at the same size as the original without any loss of image quality. Printing larger than the original size, however, may result in blurry or pixelated pictures.
- 600 DPI This resolution will capture twice the amount of pixel data as 300 DPI. This additional data allows you to reprint your photos at twice the size of the original without any loss of quality (e.g., a 4 x 6 photo can be reprinted at 8 x 12 without any loss of quality). You will also have more detail to work with if you intend to digitally edit the images.
- 1200 DPI Scanning photos at 1200 dpi allows you to make reprints of at least 4-6 times the original picture size without any loss of quality, as well as perform very detailed digital edits. The downside to digitizing pictures at this high of a resolution is that the files sizes are much larger, which takes up more disk space and can take longer to load when viewing. Scanning photos at 1200 dpi also costs more because it takes much more time to process.
