35mm Slide Scanning Review; Some background prior to sending your slides, photos and negatives for scanning...

Before you review and compare any digital archival imaging services, the first question must always be how long has the company been in business; after all, these are your precious photo memories that you are trusting us with.
ScanMyPhotos.com is a division of 30 Minute Photos Etc. which has a nearly 18-year legacy of history as leaders in the photo imaging industry. Part of the company's magical ingredient is that technology and innovations have always been just as important as customer service. Your 35mm mounted slides are scanned on a $210,000 Noritsu 3213 DLS digital lab.
That should be the basis for the second question? Are other services, most of which have sprouted up in the past two-years, using scanners that you can buy for a few hundred dollars? The time-saving labor and professionalism are reasons to trust a professional scanning service, but they shouldn't be using the same low-grade equipment you can buy at a chain store.
For ScanMyPhotos.com, two-years is a special date and reason why so many start-up entrepreneurs have entered the business that we pioneered and commercialize using KODAK technology. The national media attention for our super-fast and inexpensive photo scanning service began after we addressed several sessions at the International Photo Marketing Association, which we have been members of since 1990. During those sessions, and others to industry leaders, our plan was widely shared and many tried to replicate it, but in most cases, without the same level of equipment and longevity in the photo business.
Among the many innovations practiced at ScanMyPhotos.com is you will note that we do not have an "800" toll-free number. Instead we have a wide variety of easy ways to reach us. Toll-free numbers are so last decade, today, smart businesses have 24/7 Live Support help desks that are super convenient and easy to have your question answered by a real person. Our help desk operates around the clock and like all other work is based in southern California. If you don't want to chat with an operator talking a foreign language, why would you want to send your precious work overseas.
Third question is how quickly are will your order be fulfilled, even if you have an international order originating outside the U.S. If it takes upwards of 6-8 weeks (2-months) which is span of time promoted by others, ask the question, why? Wouldn't you want to have your order completed the same day it arrives for processing? That has been our mandate since were were founded to always complete orders when they are received, not weeks later. In most cases, your slides are scanned and prepared for return the same day it is received.
- For more questions on slide scanning, click here.
- You can trust ScanMyPhotos.com to preserve your 35mm mounted slide scans as jpeg files and get your order back the next day, when choosing overnight delivery, or same day if you are located near our southern California headquarters.
- To download the slide scanning order form, click here.
- Get superior color accuracy and true-to-life scan quality from ScanMyPhotos.com
- The rate is 75-cents per slide scan in quantities in excess of 150 35mm mounted slides to CD transfer.
- Your 35mm mounted slides are scanned at 2000 dpi which outputs at 500dpi @ 4x6 (2000x3000 pixels, or 6MP).
- The professional quality scans include a free photographic index print (contact sheet).
- You can easily order additional photographic prints, photo albums, flip books and much more at the time the order is placed directly from our online photo service, which also fulfills all orders on the same day it is received.
- ScanMyPhotos.com color and density corrects and enhance each 35mm slide image using KODAK's digital ICE.

Digital Photo Archiving Technical Forum Attended by ScanMyPhotos.com in Las Vegas
Keeping Preservation Top of Mind, is the title of this digital photo archiving forum hosted by I3A on February 1st at the Las Vegas Hilton during PMA 2008
As part of the week long photo industry convention (PMA) ScanMyPhotos.com executives attended the half-day forum. Company president and CEO, Mitch Goldstone separately addressed PMA and DIMA sessions during the week.
- The State of Image Preservation by Steve Hoffenberg, Lyra Research. What is the state of digital image preservation? Will our generation be ultimately forgotten because we leave behind no visual records of our lives? When will the value of digital photography be ultimately realized? While the industry continues to drive forward developing new and fascinating image technologies, what about consumers? Do they even consider the preservation of their photo memories? What do they really know about digital image management and how to ensure those memories are preserved for future family generations?
- A consumer panel discussed what they think about the preservation issue, or whether they even think about it at all.
- Preservation Issues Affecting Consumers by Dave Bunzel, OSTA; Stephen Hagel, ACME works; Mark Mizen, Creative Memories; Troy Sechrist, Phanfare; Tony Stieber, HP Technology - Solution or Problem? This panel examined technology as a benefit and an impediment to saving consumer's photo memories. The industry continues to develop fascinating new image technology at a breakneck pace, but does it really benefit consumers who struggle with simple file copying and back ups? How can technology truly make consumer's lives easier rather than just more complicated? How do consumers know what products will really work for preserving their memories? How can technology make that task easier for them? Or does more technology just confuse the market and stymie growth? Can service providers do the work for them instead? How Can Metadata Help Solve the Preservation Problem? Kevin Connor, Adobe Systems Incorporated and Josh Weisberg, Microsoft Corporation.
The Digital Archiving Technical Form was presented by I3A — the International Imaging Industry Association. I3A's member companies from around the world are dedicated to developing and promoting the adoption of open industry standards, addressing environmental issues and providing a voice for the industry that will ultimately benefit all users. I3A is the product of the merger of the Digital Imaging Group (DIG) and the Photographic and Imaging Manufacturers Association (PIMA), with almost 60 years of combined imaging industry leadership.

Big News and Updates from Las Vegas! PMA Updates
Due to our conference schedule we will not have an update until Sunday. However, as a hint, please see www.PMAI.org Newsline - see link.
Text follows....
What if there were no more prints?
Scott Brownstein of Brownstein & McCabe, moderator of a DIMA 2008 session held yesterday to answer this question, does not believe there will be no prints anytime soon; however, session speakers Terry Peterson of Peterson's Video Transfer Services and Mitch Goldstone of 30 Minute Photos Etc. [ScanMyPhotos.com], presented two viable opportunities to replace fading print business.
"Goldstone spoke about providing high speed scanning services. "There are 3.5 trillion prints out there that need to be digitized. This market is so vast," he says. Using a high speed Kodak document scanner, Goldstone's store offers shoebox scanning, inviting online customers at www.scanmyphoto.com to put as many prints in a specific postage box as will fit -- scanning them all for one set price. An average order is about 1,800 prints, but some customers fit hundreds more into the box.
Larger orders come in as well. "We can scan upwards of 6,000 pictures for $200," Goldstone says. One customer recently had 22,000 prints scanned. In the store, customers are given a 15-minute guarantee to have up to 1,000 pictures scanned, or their order is free. The store takes the opportunity to introduce scanning customers to its ancillary products for additional sales. From a service like this, Goldstone says customers want super fast turnaround and everything done in-house."

Eastman Kodak Company's Future Plans: Analysis and Forecast
Click here to read the AP article.
Kodak and the entire photo imaging industry are on the cusp of extraordinary, new technologies that will revitalize and launch entirely new ways to view and share your pictures, especially in the age of iPhones, YouTube, and teenagers' constant quest to have the "new-new thing."
Background: Every day, ScanMyPhotos.com customers are mesmerized and surprised to learn that it is not magic, but reality - their generations of photo memories are digitized in minutes. The reason: Kodak technology.
[ScanMyPhotos.com provides affordable, super-fast photo scanning, pay just $49.95 to scan up to 1,000 pictures, or order prepaid, fill-the box services for scanning more than 1,600+ 4x6" pictures, including all shipping charges for just $99.95 and all orders are completed and mailed back on the same day, or 1,000 photo scans are free (click here for details)].
While much of our company's 18-years of success is based on Kodak innovations and its employees' commitment to perfection, our digital imaging and scanning, along with all the new products generated from digitized pictures are beyond anything we have ever experienced. And, it is only the beginning. Kodak has just announced innovative new photo imaging products that provide immediate output.
Carl Berman and Mitch Goldstone, co-owners of 30 Minute Photos Etc and ScanMyPhotos.com have been longtime and loyal Kodak customers and privileged to have known every CEO on a first name basis from George Fisher to Dan Carp and Antonio Perez.
Many had thought the charmed legacy of "Kodak Moments" were a distant memory, but the company is back and poised to unleash new, futuristic and innovative ways to look at and share pictures. After all the hard work to change course from analog film and chemicals to the environmentally-friendly digital age, Kodak has just announced a powerhouse of new digital imaging products and services that will win raves from retailers, consumers and its shareholders.
In the early 1990's we attended a visionary presentation in San Francisco by Kodak's then Chairman, George Fisher called "Picturing the Digital Age." This was pre-Internet and before the commercialization of digital cameras. Yet, Mr. Fisher demonstrated how a picture could travel through a phone line from California to be printed in New York. It was edgy and magical. Many questioned how that could happen. Today it is old news, but also today, the new news is even more exiting and revolutionary.
During a recent visit to Rochester, we had an opportunity to view, test and admire what will soon become very public. Because we are under NDA (non-disclosure agreement), further comments have to be muted.
Many entrepreneurs have business hero's and ours is Kodak's Chairman and CEO, Antonio Perez along with his entire team of loyal, determined and equally passionate champions who are helping to regain Kodak's legacy. Even though the company is a worldwide partner of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, a Gold metal for visionary leadership (and the reason Kodak is going to charm many) should be presented to Chief Executive Perez.
For us, having pioneered the super-fast photo scanning business [see "In the News"] and earning acceptance by customers around the world is rewarding, but behind the photo scanning technology which we helped commercialize are many friends at Kodak who are also the reason behind our success.
And, if you think scanning 1,000 pictures in 10-minutes is extraordinary, just wait to see what is next. Soon, we will be yawning at this technology, just as we did after the 1993 Kodak "Picturing the Digital Age" presentation, as it too will be overtaken by newer and more advanced services and products that will further dazzle and mesmerize.
According to the AP report, "Mark Zupan, dean of the University of Rochester's Simon Graduate School of Business Administration [said], "you're starting to see more of an edge to Kodak. But just one or two successful innovations aren't going to do the trick. It takes aggressiveness, ingenuity and a willingness to take risks." Mr. Zupan, grab your camera and get ready to watch the magic return, but this time, there are less risks and more crystal-clear grand-slams on the horizon.
