Over the years we used to convert film to mini digital tapes and give those tapes to our customers along with their new DVD’s. We also used to digitize film and video productions directly to professional S-VHS tapes and make customer VHS tapes from those. If you have these master tapes in your possession, espectially […]
If you are anything like me you haven’t made this years calendar yet. No worries, some years it takes me until June to start this project. With Heritage Makers you can design your own calendar and have it start any month you want. If you use a template, once it is in your projects folder […]
We are more confident recommending that your photos and slides do not get mailed or sent out of State to be digitized. These are family photos that can never be replaced. If you are going to scan slides yourself, pick a good flatbed scanner with a good software program. Epson make good ones. Set your […]
There are several ways to organize photos on a computer. Rename your photos by name, date, or event; place your photos in files that have a title that you will remember; or make a contact sheet of every photo you take and where it is. There is yet another quite simple way to ‘tag’ a […]

We have been scanning a lot of old family and business documents this past year. Old documents come in with some interesting binding techniques. I wonder when the paper clip was invented because these old papers that come in use a variety of methods to keep them together. Many people used straight pins, they actually […]
This scanning project took a couple of months, every week we scanned about 4 photo albums and burned them to a DVD disc. In the end all of these photos were digitized on only about 8 discs and placed in one small secure binder. What a great gift for the family. Now everyone will have […]
Just to do a reality check I decided to go online and pick the first photo scanning company that came up to compare their pricing to ours. At first glance, they were quite a bit lower than us, however when I selected all the options that we include in our pricing, on a 500 photo […]
When you take photos from your cell phone camera they are digital. Hopefully you burn these treasures onto a DVD every once in awhile or after a very special event. This way, when the computer crashes, you have a back up. There is a great way of getting very inexpensive prints from your phone photos, […]
