| About Us |
|
If you're about to send off your precious photos to a third party company, like us, you may want to be reassured of who you are sending them to so we are pleased to tell you a little about us, who we are and what we do.
Like most people we enjoy the odd holiday, having a coffee out, country walks and music. In fact we really love music so apologies if you call us and can hear Absolute Radio in the background or something else to keep us going.
Our Photo Scanning Service happened by accident really. I used to work for Canon and one weekend borrowed one of their big scanners and scanned all our old photos.
Since that weekend of scanning our own photos we have gone onto perfect our scanning service and Louise runs the photo scanning side of the business. She ensure's we turn the orders around quickly, and makes sure that the quality of scans are excellent. We use the best hardware and software available for bulk scanning and have a return shipping service that works well, allowing us to track our orders right the way back to you.
So, that's us. We like to think we are nice people providing a great service at an affordable price. We are easy to deal with so please call us with any questions you might have or if you like what you have seen please tell your friends and family as well. Thanks for reading this and we hope we can work with you soon.

Recommendations for Photo Album Software
Once you have your disc back from us you can add your photos to your PC or Mac. Our photo scanning disc will contain jpg files that have been scanned in the order you presented them to us. This means the time / date order will be visually accurate.
You can import your photos using the built in tools of Windows XP or Vista. If you use a Mac you will probably be using iPhoto. Similar packages for PC exist including Adobe PhotoShop Elements and of course the excellent Google Picasa. These packages allo you to create Albums or folders. This means you can multiple select the photographs we have scanned on screen and drag them into your newly created virtual photo albums. ..Download Google Picasa
Backing Up Your photos
Once you have all of your old photos scanned and have them together with your new digital photos you need to make sure they are backed up. You can do this in a number of ways and very simply you can backup to a DVD which will hold around 4.5GB of data which could be 5000 photos. If you have more than this number, which many people now do, backing up to another PC or across the internet to a Photo Bank offers you the best level of protection. To find out more just contact us for details.





Click2Scan is run by Martin & Louise Peirce, a husband and wife team who both reached the ripe old age of 40 in 2009. We are a typical family with two boys, Harry & George and pets, Tigger the cat and Chester the dog.
Life for us is one of working hard during the week and then hopefully taking time out at the weekends to catch up with the boys and to take it easy.
I didn't do that good a job of it but nonetheless it was really nice to have them all together on our Mac so we could create some albums and pull together our wedding photos, kids baby pictures, our 90's holidays and so on. Like everyone else we now use digital cameras so had all the new stuff on the computer and the old photos in boxes and drawers all over the house.
We started Click2Scan in March 2007 to provide a range of services around document scanning (mainly to business). This includes software, scanners and scanning as a service. Despite the economic climate we continue to grow and put this down to the commitment we show our customers. Whether we are receiving a handful of photos or scanning an archive of important patient information, we ensure we deliver a quality service that our customers are pleased with and are happy to recommend us to their friends, colleagues or customers.
We run our business in a small town called Mere - on the Wiltshire Dorset border. The A303 runs close by linking the West Country to London. We are surrounded by wonderful countryside so if you fancy a trip down to drop off your photos personally you are more than welcome but make sure you allow enough time to visit Stourhead - "The Jewel In the Crown of the National Trust" which is ony 2 miles from our door. That's perfect dog walking territory for us and and a photographer's Mecca !
