PREPARING PHOTOS FOR BULK SCANNING 

GATHER

• Acquire all analog media, photographs, and memorabilia from your own collection. Unmounted prints up to a maximum of 8x12” or 20x30cm
• Ask family members/others to contribute any additional items they may have. 
• Check less obvious places where photos can be found, such as albums, drawers & inside frames.

SORT

• Use a large dining table or area where you can spread out for a few days.
• Use plastic bins, note cards, envelopes and boxes to help keep things labelled and organised.
• Remove all staples, paperclips, sticky notes, etc.
• Remove prints from albums and frames. We can do this for you at $75/hour. If you can’t remove photos, we can still scan them; refer to the flatbed scanning section for pricing.
• Determine a sorting system. Create piles/bins by year, by event or by person/family.
• Keep photos in a specific order - sort them with the first photo on top, use a rubber band, and place all in a snap lock bag with the folder title you would like. We will create digital file folders with the same naming system for you. Indicate this during your final consultation.

ELIMINATE

• Save money by curating your collection in advance. Only keep the very best photos.
• Create a “throw away” pile, box or bin.
• Be quick & decisive when choosing what to eliminate.
• Eliminate duplicate or similar shots from the same event.
• Toss prints with poor lighting, blurry focus, or insignificant subject matter.
• Don’t necessarily eliminate prints with damage. We can restore those to their original glory!
