where can i get printed photos put onto a CD?
Hi,
I have professional photographs of myself (graduations, school pictures, etc). I want to have them burned onto a CD. Where can I get this done? I have a scanner connected to my computer but it’s not that great and makes the pictures lose their quality. I would rather go to a place and have it done. Thanks.
You need a scanner with a solid D-max rating. Any reputable
professional photo center will be able to handle the scans for you with no problem. After the scans, you may need some digital cleaning however. If you have even a basic understanding of photoshop you can handle that on your own. If it’s something you’re not comfortable with, make sure you check with the photo center about their cost of doing it. Some places will ’solve’ the problem by using a ‘pixel polish’ setting when scanning. This degrades the whole image though and I do not recommend it. Someone mentioned about taking photos of the photos. That is something that can be used for warped and fragile photos and it’s assuming you have a high end camera. Otherwise stick to the scanning. You can expect any reputable center will charge $10 and up for each scan. If you have a problem finding a place, let me know. I can do the professional scans and any needed retouching but you would have to pay for the mailing.
Someone I know actually took digital pictures of their printed pictures and then simply uploaded to puter and burned to a cd… they looked great!
