Generations of Family Photos are Going Digital Superfast at ScanMyPhotos.com



Because there is an urgent need to save motion pictures at risk of being lost forever, famous entertainment industry leaders are calling to preserve neglected movies, but, there is an equal demand to save another type of picture -- generations of family photos.

While there are thousands of movies that must be saved, there are billions of snapshots spanning decades that must immediately be restored and preserved, according to ScanMyPhotos.com. The Irvine, Calif.-based photo imaging company claims to have already preserved millions of pictures -- representing shoeboxes of family photos that span generations from across the nation.

Unlike the formidable challenge, cost and time to restore a single motion picture, hundreds of individual snapshots are easily scanned in minutes and digitally preserved. While it can take years to restore a single movie, ScanMyPhotos.com uses the award-winning KODAK i660 Series Scanner and KODAK Capture Software to easily protect photo memories as vibrant digital files. The company also turns the preserved pictures into photo memory albums and can magically enhance each picture to help fix faded and discolored snapshots -- especially those old analog Polaroid pictures.

How it works: Shoeboxes from across the nation are mailed each day to ScanMyPhotos.com which provides same-day service for transforming up to one-thousand 3 ½ x 5 - 11x14 pictures in minutes onto digital files for just $49.95. This innovative scanning service also features a fill-the-box prepaid program for scanning more than 1,600 4x6 photos for just $99.95. (Special, buy two prepaid boxes and the third is free).
