Wanting to share old photos?
Whether it’s saving for posterity or giving as a gift, we all want to share old photos with people all the time. Rather than ‘lending’ originals to friends and relatives and risking them being lost or harmed in any way, having digital versions of old photos makes it easier to share. You can print them out, e-mail them or even think a bit more laterally and send them the image in a different format: why not send them a mug or a mouse mat or a T-shirt? If you’ve got 13 images you want to share with someone, then send them a calendar. For more images, try a wall-mounted, framed memory board. Order Now

Researching family history?
Generations of a family history and a lifetime of photos on a single disc (or more). Always a fascinating and ongoing process. Part of this process is gathering together photographs from a wide variety of family members from possibly all around the world. But most people want their photos back. Scanning them all in will keep a great record long into the future. A great time capsule to give as a gift and something to pass onto the next generation to continue this never ending project.

Time poor?
Everyone and every family have intimidating piles of miscellaneous snapshots in drawers and boxes. It is always our intention to do something about them but after a few evenings spent scanning them into a computer, if you even get that far, most of us give up and back in the box they end up - most of us really just haven’t got the time. “Wouldn’t it be great if someone would do this for me” is always the cry. Order Now

Divorced or splitting up?
It turns out that the most common reason for wanting to scan a reasonable amount of pictures is due to divorce or an impending split up. OK you still have the issue of who gets the originals and some you definitely wont want but you will be surprised how many you both want. Rather than dividing them up and fighting over them why not each have everything in dispute in digital format - it’s one less emotional hassle to get over. Order Now

Going to a funeral?
Who gets to keep the photographic memories or who gets certain ones of a relative after they pass away, it’s always an emotional dilemma. Inherited boxes of colour and black-and-white photos and possessions give people a sense of obligation to preserve them in some way. Sharing the life of the person with others within the family and keeping their memory alive for generations to come becomes an important issue. A family funeral always brings together dispersed members of a family and memories of times gone by are always uppermost in all of our minds at that particular time.

It doesn’t stop at the death of a family member, our pets are just as close to us in a different way and preserving their life with us is also something that brings a great sense of satisfaction to see how important, and part of the family they were. Order Now

Leaving home?
Anyone leaving home now will have a printed photographic and a more recent digital photographic collection. Who gets your printed childhood memories - your parents want them, you want them – do you divide them up - but what about a brother or sister, soon they will leave home too, they are in most of the photos as well, they will want their share…? These are precious memories that represent a family's history why not all have a digital copy; this could be the answer you need. Order Now

Emigrating?
Leaving home but on a bigger scale, the same applies but what about old friends, neighbors, old colleagues and also family members - why not raid their photographic collections and gather together your memories of the place and people you are leaving behind. Don’t forget your remaining family will also want their memories, which are also your memories for themselves. Dividing up things and dispersing them over different continents is never the best option - why not all have a digital copy then everyone’s happy! Order Now

Unsure how to save old photos?
It’s important to preserve memories through pictures. For every image we have in an album there are a dozen more just sitting in shoeboxes, shoeboxes full of photos that were slowly deteriorating with age and the ravages of time, they could also be lost to flood, fire and any number of mishaps. Insurance will cover the obvious things but it won’t bring back memories lost forever. Material things are replaceable but trying to tell your children there are no pictures or record of them when they were smaller is a difficult one!

Digital is the way forward for saving those old memories and getting someone to do it for you cheaply and very fast onto DVD and a secure password-protected website saves any problems before they could arise. Order Now
