Turn old prints into new digital images
What’s the one thing people always say they’ll save if their house is on fire? It’s photo albums. But if disaster strikes, there’s often not time to grab these precious memories. That’s where Camera House’s photo scanning and archiving service can help you to protect your photos, slides and negatives.
Our photo scanning service can convert your physical photo collection into digital images that you can easily access and share, as well as advising you on ways to ensure your photos are safely backed up. We can scan your images to preserve all their colour and detail, as well as providing editing and enhancement services upon request. We’ll also help with strategies to organise your photos so you can access the right photos, when you need them. (Hello, photo slideshows for milestone birthdays and anniversaries, now easier than ever.) Get those photos out of albums and shoeboxes and into the modern age so you can keep enjoying them well into the future.
