Sometimes it's important to keep your images in a certain order.
Family History
Holiday
Building a house
Restoring a car
In those cases we will scan each image individually to retain your desired order. Just ensure you have them clearly marked so there is no confusion on the required order of the images. Of course you could rename and rearrange them on your own computer at home later to save you money.We can recommend free software available for this.

Additional Services

This is the ideal way to show your photos off to your friends and family. It is available in PAL or NTSC formats. Each DVD will hold up to 300 images. You have a choice of a single or multi transitions.
It's just perfect for celebrations, anniversaries, 21st's and THE BIG SCREENS.You will still have the initial CD/DVD of images for printing or emailing. It makes a really great gift.
Many people will not get the best from their digital images owing to the amount of time required to 'fix' hundreds if not thousands of photos. As the skill levels are quite high many images have been permanently damaged by using incorrect settings. Digital photo software has a very steep learning curve that most do not want to attempt. So..... along with our fast and inexpensive scanning service we can also bring back the life into your old, faded, colour cast photographs.
Ask our staff or visit Deluxe Colour and see for yourself
This is what we'll do:
Correct for over and underexposed images.
Restore faded images.
Remove colour casts caused by:
lighting, stains, fading, chemical reaction and poor printing.
Slightly sharpen to achieve a more pleasing result
A word about slides
Unless your slides have been kept in a totally dust free environment, each slide will have some degree of dust particles on the image. Of course when scanning, these particles will also be scanned.We do a minor cleaning of each slide using compressed air to remove loose surface dust however any remaining will be visible. Our advice has always been, rather than spending large amounts of money to clean 100's of slides, let us scan them as usual and then select those that are really important and clean and restore those. We would absolutely recommend the Deluxe Colour service for slides too.
