Q:  How long does it take?

A:  It all depends on what you need and when you need it.  One project may take one day while another may take one month.  40 photos obviously will not take as long as 140.  I like to be safe and say two weeks from beginning to end.  Please don't hesitate to ask if you need a presentation quickly.  A slight cost increase if it's needed in three or fewer day.

 

Q:  How much time does the customer need to put into it?

A:  It depends on the project and how much say you want to have.  You could tell me every little detail from beginning to end, or you could just hand me the photos and say "Do what you think is best."  As long as you have the time to put the pictures in order, think of the music and words, then you can do it.  Over all, a few hours is all you'll need to put into the project.  

 

Q: What if I have different groups of pictures?

A:  If you would like more than one group, the DVD will include a main menu with scene selection.

Q: Can you do more than simple photo touch-ups?

A: Yes. Aside from the clearing simple scratches, spots and improving with color adjustments for free, I can also leave out parts of photos as well. 

These are only a few of the many questions past customers have had.  We’d  be glad to help you with any more you might have so feel free to call,  or e-mail us your questions.

Q:  What is 'Scanning' and who needs it?

A:  Scanning is "The process of translating photographs into a digital form that can be recognized by a computer." The machine needed to do this is called a Scanner. So, let's say you have shoes-boxes full of older photographs that you would like to use for your DVD.  You would then scan the photos; the process of getting them onto your computer.  You then e-mail them to me, or put them onto a CD you hand or mail to me. Sounds like some work!  We want to make this as easy as possible for you so if you find all this too hard, or too time consuming, feel free to hand those photos  to us and we’ll do the scanning for you.

.25 cents per photo - example .25 cents X 50 photos = $12.50.

Q:  Can I put more than just pictures or video in the slide show?

A:  Yes. Other types of media can be put into your slide show. That could include things like ticket stubs, announcements, news paper articles, that special drawing the little child did in first grade - anything that can be digitized on a flat screen scanner.

Q:  Can I request to have only parts of a song put on?

A:  You sure can. I can add or take off what ever you request. Perhaps you  have a parts of a video with sound showing but you you’d love to still be hearing the music that was playing before the video starts.  I can lower the volume of the song so you can hear the speech from the video while still hearing that perfect song way in the background.
