Photographs to CD, USB, or DVD
We can digitise photographs (as well as transparencies, negatives, and 35mm slides) to create permanent copies for you, easily shareable with family, friends, and distant relatives.
Maybe you have a shoebox full of old photographs or albums tucked away in the loft. Whatever you possess, we can help digitise and restore (where needed) your images so that you have a professionally archived copy of your photographs.
To get the best-quality images from your photographs, we copy, convert, and transfer using the latest high-resolution capture equipment at an approximate resolution of 6,000 × 4,000 pixels. We then retouch the images, performing basic colour correction free of charge. Finally, we deliver the photos as a slideshow on a DVD (including the original photos for you to print from) or USB.
Using a studio-grade photo printer, we can also reproduce small quantities of photographs from 6 x 4 up to A3+.

The first permanent photoetching was an image produced in 1822 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce, but it was destroyed in a later attempt to make prints from it. Niépce was successful again in 1825. In 1826 or 1827, he made the View from the Window at Le Gras, the earliest surviving photograph from nature.
Because Niépce’s camera photographs required an extremely long exposure (at least eight hours and probably several days), he sought to greatly improve his bitumen process or replace it with one that was more practical. In partnership with Louis Daguerre, he worked out post-exposure processing methods that produced visually superior results and replaced the bitumen with a more light-sensitive resin, but hours of exposure in the camera were still required.
