PMA Data Watch: Percentage of U.S. households receiving digital images from family and friends down from previous years

Thirty-seven percent of U.S households received digital pictures via the Internet or on CD/DVD from their family, friends or relatives last year, down from previous years, according to the 2009 PMA U.S. Camera/Camcorder Digital Imaging Survey. Social networking sites make pictures easily accessible by family and friends at any time without having to email them. Most likely to receive digital images in 2008 were young households, those with higher incomes and households where young children were present.

Of those households that received digital pictures, 32 percent made prints from the images. There is a positive correlation between age and making prints from received digital images. Households where the head was 65 years of age or older were much more likely to make prints than younger households. Households where no children were present were also more likely to make prints from the digital images they received from family and friends. This is likely to be a reflection of grandparents, perhaps those living long distances from their grandchildren, making prints so that they can cherish and display the pictures around their home. Lower income households were also more likely to make prints of received digital images than those earning higher incomes.

Households were slightly less likely in 2008 to make prints from received digital images at home than they were in previous years. Making the prints at retail, using the instant kiosk or local retailer's counter, was more common in 2008 than in the few years prior. They were more likely to pick up prints sent to the local retailer by family or friends. In terms of share, more prints were made at home than using any other method.

In Preparation For a Natural Disaster, Are Your Photos Safe?

We have all heard it a thousand times ‘be prepared for The Big One’. And ‘The Big One’ varies from area to area. It is an earthquake, a fire, a tornado, a flood or even a home robbery. We hear about it. We talk about it. And we think about it …but when it comes down to it, just how prepared are you?

September is National Preparedness Month, which is a perfect reminder to us all to put that planning into action. While we might have a few extra canned goods stored, or a copy of our insurance policies in a safe, but what about your photos? One of the most over-looked areas of preventive preservation is backing up our hard-copy photos. When disaster strikes, it is the irreplaceable memories that affect the victims the most. Your wedding album, boxes of photos your children and photos of relatives no longer living are all examples of precious items that need to be cared for responsibly.

But, sitting in front of your computer and scanning these photos one by one can a painfully slow process, even taking months or years to complete. It just isn’t realistic. Fortunately there are services like ScanMyPhotos.com which make backing up your hard copy photos easy and affordable with their ‘speed-scan’ process.

A sturdy and secure box arrives at your home, which you can fill with your photos (approximately 2000 per box) and you return to ScanMyPhotos.com on your own time. (ScanMyPhotos.com pays for postage all three ways).

Once received, the photos are professionally scanned and returned to you the same day. There are also hundreds of other photo imaging products available from ScanMyPhotos.com. You receive your original photos back and new digital DVD data discs. Request several copies to share with relatives or to store off-site in multiple locations. Order custom photo index books and literately hundreds of other photo products to share and save your special memories directly from ScanMyPhotos.com.

In addition to knowing you are preserving your family treasures you can also email photos and upload to the Internet with ease.

Don’t let ‘the big one’ win!

With ScanMyPhotos.com, it is easy to be prepared for anything that comes your way.

Browse All Your Scanned Photos With Cooliris.com

Smart way to browsing your photos



We recommend an easy way to sift through your scanned photos. Because our average photo scan order is about 5,000 pictures, viewing the images can be time-consuming and frustrating. A useful solution is Cooliris, a streamlined way to browse through visual content.



Cooliris makes a program that plugs into a browser and changes the way search results for photos and videos on sites like YouTube, Google Images and Flickr are presented. It fills your monitor with a wall of thumbnail images to view all at once, eliminating the need to click through dozens or hundreds of images one at a time. It’s easy to scroll along to see more images. Clicking on an image makes it fill the screen; clicking again restores the thumbnail wall. The program also can be used to scroll through the photos stored on your computer or directly from our ScanMyPhotos.com provided DVD data discs.





View Photos from Your Computer. Up until now Cooliris has been an almost exclusively online experience. Now you can search through the My Computer icon and be able to access any of your image galleries in Cooliris, wherever they’re hiding – your Hard Drive, Desktop, iPhoto, My Pictures, et cetera!

Share Your Media Experience with Friends and Family!

Surfing through photos and videos with Cooliris allows users to keep up with the latest news, entertainment, and albums from family and friends. But until now, there’s been no way for users to share their best finds with their social circle.

According to their website, Cooliris version 1.8 features a great new addition: Sharing! Create a login in a matter of seconds, and you’ll be able to send photos and videos to anyone you want! In no time, your friends and relatives will find themselves at your newly-made media collection, complete with your commentary!

How does it happen? Just use the sharing button (envelope icon) to create a new message. While surfing the web with Cooliris, drag and drop as many pictures and videos as you like. Then write a few words to your contacts, click Send, and you’re done!

Now Cooliris’s 3D Wall is the fastest way to search, view, AND share media. And that’s not all that has changed in version 1.8. There’s never been a better time to use Cooliris. You can download the latest build from www.cooliris.com, see the world with Discover, and start sharing multimedia with friends and family!

APS, 35mm Negative, Medium Format Scanning to DVD, New Lower Prices, Intl Service

All Scanning is completed at our Southern California headquarters in Irvine, CA. Most orders completed the same day and full international delivery service is our speciality at ScanMyPhotos.com

35MM NEGATIVE SCANNING:
Trust ScanMyPhotos.com to preserve all your 35mm color or black & white negatives onto digital DVDs. Your negatives are scanned at 2000 dpi (5MP) with higher resolution files available at a higher cost.

International Service - Most Orders Completed Same Day

Now just $0.39 per exposure, includes one complimentary DVD Data Disc. Most orders are completed the same day and returned internationally, along with your original negatives and the new digital files.

REQUIREMENTS: Your standard 35mm negative strips must be at least two negatives long and we must scan the entire strip. We cannot selectively scan negatives on a strip (ex. frame #3a, #6A); it's the entire strip that must be scanned. You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed from our online pro lab ordering service.

We color and density correct and enhance each image using Digital ICE. (Note: Digital ICE cannot be used with B&W film. These negatives will be scanned without Digital ICE).

NEW: For $0.74 per exposure, have your negatives scanned at 4000 dpi creating a 16MP equivalent file. Best for museum-quality archival purposes. For this service, check the appropriate box on the order form of additional services.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. This will render them unscannable.

Ready to order? Click here to download the 35mm negative and APS film scanning order form.

APS - Kodak Advantix, Advanced Photo System Negative Scanning
The same service and options as 35mm film scanning but APS film is $9.95 for per roll, regardless of exposure count (15, 25 or 40 exposure). Due to APS' smaller film size, file sizes are smaller at the same resolution when scanned, compared to 35mm film.

When scanning APS film the entire negative is scanned regardless of what you shot the layout to be. The way APS film worked was it always shot a 4x7 proportionate negative and then would be cropped accordingly when printed. We scan the entire negative that was shot and ignore what the setting on the camera was at the time of the picture giving you the full image.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS: APS film is self-contained in the canister. Please do not remove or attempt to remove the film from the cartridge.

NOTE: While this occurs only occasionally, we have found that over the years, some places decided to process and print APS film but did want to make the investment into the required equipment to do so. These labs would remove the film from the cartridges, tape it to a card and process the film. Unfortunately, when you use this process, you have to cut the film and official APS film printers/scanners require a very specific minimum length of film. If it is even the slightest bit short, it then becomes unprintable/unscannable with the proper equipment, which we have. Sometimes labs would get lucky with their cutting, however most of the time, it was cut too short for official equipment. Since we don't have any other way to scan APS film, we are unable to scan those rolls and will be returned with a note.

Click here to download the 35mm negative and APS film scanning order form.

Medium Format Negative Scanning
We can scan single cut or strip cut medium format. Pricing for single cut or cut rolls is noted below. As with standard 35mm negatives and slides, all scans are processed with Digital ICE to color correct and remove dust and scratches that may be present. Standard scanning of medium format is done at 1000dpi. High-resolution scans are scanned at 2000dpi for double the cost. Due to medium format's larger frame, we can scan them at a lower resolution resulting in high quality scans when compared to standard 35mm. You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed. 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, or 6x9 format only.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. This will render them unscannable.

Medium Format Scan Prices (cost per frame)

Quantity.......1000dpi..........2000dpi
1-125...............$2.48..............$4.96
126-750............$2.14..............$4.28
751+................$1.95..............$3.90

Google Wave: Redefining How You Share Photos and Stories from ScanMyPhotos.com

This is the next new, new, application once your thousands of photos are digitized at ScanMyPhotos.com. Share your memories with friends and relatives and create a new community to discuss and laugh as you reminisce.

Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year. Watch the demo video below, sign up for updates and learn more about how to develop with Google Wave. Google Wave can make you more productive even when you're having fun.

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared.

Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Unlike online forums, Google Waves reflect changes in more or less real time: You can see responses appear from Wave participants as the typing occurs, network latency permitting. There is, however, an option to show a reply only after all typing has been completed.

Google Wave will be available this fall and check back often for regular updates. We are so excited and look forward to incorporating this brilliant new Google tool to compliment your photo scanning orders.

The Onion Parodies Photo Services With "Netpix"

A "Netpix" user checks out some of the latest offerings in the "African-American pilots" genre.

The humor site The Onion launched a full-fledged parody of photo sharing site, called "Netpix," complete with its own Netflix-like website and Facebook page. The premise of the parody is subscribers will be able to receive up to three pictures at a time, from a wide array of genres, for a monthly fee. Genres include family photos, sunsets, crime scene photos and more. Here's an excerpt:

"Launched in April, the new service offers a wide array of photos and genres, including pictures of sunsets, images of friends sitting around picnic tables, grisly crime scene photos, the complete works of Ansel Adams, snapshots of Carol and her dog, and recent portraits from Tanya Kohler's baby shower at the Treehouse restaurant in Manchester, NH.

" 'It's so convenient. You get a photo in your mailbox, look at it for a while, and then drop it in the prepaid envelope and send it back,' Houston resident Jonathan Collins said. 'I'll never look at pictures the same way again.'

"The company was founded by computer programmers and photography buffs Wallace Lockhart and Kurt Griggs, and has already amassed nearly 50 million users.

"Immediately after signing up, subscribers can begin adding images they wish to look at to their rental queue. They then receive an e-mail notification indicating that the photos have been shipped from a nearby distribution facility and will arrive by mail within three business days.

" 'Our members can keep photographs for as long as they want without ever having to worry about late fees,' said Griggs, the company's president, adding that Netpix is much simpler than trying to pick out pictures to look at at the local photo store. 'We have something for everyone. Whether you like extreme close-ups of flowers or candid shots of Dave passed out on the couch, it's all here.' "

Grandparents' Photo Memories Must Be Saved, Says ScanMyPhotos.com

IRVINE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - When "AARP The Magazine" wrote about photo scanning in its May/June issue, it launched a crusade - advocating that readers should start thinking about genealogy, preservation of memories and sharing photos in today's all-digital world.

"But, the challenge in this economy was how to embrace technology to affordably archive and preserve shoeboxes of family photos," explained Mitch Goldstone, a pioneer in digital imaging and CEO of ScanMyPhotos.com. By commercializing Eastman Kodak Company imaging technology, Goldstone, a leader in the photo industry and Photo Marketing Association member since 1990, is on a mission.

Having solved the biggest problem in photography, ScanMyPhotos.com is helping to unlock millions of analog photo snapshots; for $64 the company scans 1,000 photos in minutes and can scan upwards of 300,000 pictures every day.

According to Goldstone, "The AARP article, 'Digitize your photos in a snap' created urgency. It dramatized the relevancy for converting analog to digital because of the magazine's stature as the world's largest circulation publication. The article fueled conversations among grandparents and even their computer savvy grandkids. It forged another idea for simplifying photo scanning and sharing; leading to a new ScanMyPhotos.com service called: ScanMyGrandparents.com [http://www.ScanMyGrandparents.com]."

ScanMyGrandparents.com lets families tell a story and enjoy their photo memories.
"We made it affordable and super-easy," said Goldstone. The ScanMyGrandparents.com service includes scanning up to 100 photos onto a DVD, a Kodak-quality photo memory album, free image rotation, same-day service and free return delivery for just $49.95.

Among the hundreds of comments about ScanMyPhotos.com was this one: "It was a great service. I've referred it to several friends. It's invaluable to have taken photos that were buried away in several boxes in the garage, unlikely to ever be viewed again and have them put onto my computer. Old friends have had many laughs and the grandparents are thrilled."

If you are attending The Wall Street Journal's "D All Things Digital" Executive Conference this week, and even if you are not, here is some free swag from ScanMyPhotos.com.

WHY WE ARE GIVING AWAY FREE PHOTO SCANNING:

Heck, we're smart markets and know that the tech world is watching the conference. "D All Things Digital," known as "D7" is all about digital, and so are we. Besides, the business we pioneered years ago, by commercializing KODAK technology, is regularly scoring mega buzz. And, helping to preserve photos has been our passion since our company was founded way back in the days of film and chemistry in 1990.


ABOUT THE "D7" CONFERENCE:

Since "D" began seven years ago, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher have championed bringing together the key influencers to discuss the digital revolution. According to their AllThingsD.com website, "[t]hey bring together the industry’s top players to the test during informal but pointed conversations about the impact digital technology will have on our lives now and in the future. The results are critical insights and relevant advice..."


ABOUT SCANMYPHOTOS.COM:

Few know better about how technology has transformed our economy from analog to digital than those in the photo imaging business.

Feedback: What People Are Saying About ScanMyPhotos.com

Our ScanMyPhotos.com free 24/7 live support help desk receives inquiries from around the world. Most are usually simple questions about placing orders for photo scanning, restorations or using our pro lab online photo service. However, from Concord, New Hampshire, came this live support comment earlier today.

No question... Just wanted to let you know that I was very pleased with the results from my fill the box order. I sent the box from New Hampshire on a Monday, and had the order back to me the following Saturday. I'm very pleased with the quality of the images and will be placing an order for another box this week. I will be recommending your company to anybody I know of who wants to have bulk photo scanning. Great job and great service!! Rick F.
