Upon receipt of your slides or photos our Receiving Department will inspect, sign-for, unpack, and check-in your slides or photos placing them in a special storage bin with internal and external barcode identification labels.
We count your slides or photos and send you an e-mail notification indicating that we have received your slides or photos and the approximate date of completion.
Your slides or photos are then processed by our Inspection Department. Here your slides or photos are inspected by our technicians using latex gloves, special lighting and compressed air. Torn, folded, stapled or severely damaged slides or photos are separated from their batches and placed in special envelopes that are returned to you. Our Inspection Department will then send you an e-mail indicating their inspection results.
Upon completion of inspection, your slides or photos are then scanned by our Scanning Department. Our expert Scan Technicians unbatch, scan and rebatch your slides or photos keeping them in strict sequence.
If you included index cards with your batches these cards are scanned as well in order to enable you to identify each batch of slides or photos recorded on the DVD. When our Scanning Pros finish scanning your photos or slides they will send you yet another e-mail regarding your scanning results.
Step 3: We store your slides or photos on DVDs:
Once your slides or photos are scanned the Graphics Department then rotates, enhances, crops, and stores your new digital slides or photos onto DVDs in jpeg format.
Your new digital slides or photos are recorded onto a DVD in folders in serialized fashion as CustomerLastName-0001.jpg; CustomerLastName-0002.jpg; CustomerLastName-0003.jpg and so forth.
The Arizona Scanning Artists use Adobe's Photoshop to correct your photos' levels, contrast and color. They sharpen your new digital images to ensure vivid, crisp photos. Our Quality Inspectors then inspect your new digital photos twice. An Arizona Scanning lightscribe label is then burned onto the face of your DVD. This label contains your name, the quantity of slides or photos recorded on the DVD,
either 3000-dpi (slides) or 600-dpi (photos) and the date the slides or photos were scanned.
Our Graphics Artists will then send you (yes, you guessed it) another e-mail letting you know that they have finished recording your newly enhanced digital photos onto DVDs.
Step 4: We ship your originals and new DVDs:
Finally, the Shipping Department will re-inspect, re-count and carefully re-pack your slides or photos. We ship your slides or photos and new Arizona Scanning DVDs back to you via traceable means.
A final e-mail is sent to you with the shipment tracking information and the expected delivery date of your order.
Step 5: You preserve, share and enjoy your new DVDs:
You enjoy, backup, share, display and preserve your digital images for all generations to come!
