Testimonials
I had the pleasure of dealing with Geoff a few weeks back to have some oversized prints scanned. They were 20"x30" and I couldn't find anyone who could appropriately scan them for a reasonable fee. After speaking to your office a couple times I felt assure the folks at click2scan could get the job done and they delivered the results! The new images I had printed were splendid, the overall resolution is just fantastic. I mentioned to Geoff that these new prints were to be the bases of multi-signature pieces and had the oppurtunity to acquire a few signatures last weekend. I had them layed out after having them signed to dry and they attracted quite a bit of attention! I just wanted to say thanks for getting these done in the short amount of time that was necessary. It's rare that I have anything this large scanned but I won't hesitate to return if needed in the future. Jeff |
| Video Conversions |
Bringing old footage back to lifeLike many people, you will no doubt have old video footage on VHS or Camcorder tapes that aren't seeing the light of day but nonetheless are still precious memories that need to be preserved. There are many services online for converting tapes to DVD but we think even that is a little dated these days. Click2Scan can convert any tapes you have and then produce the output that you require. This could be a DVD with a selection of video clips or perhaps return a memory stick to you with you video converted to movie clips playable on your PC, Mac, PS3 or XBox. Converting video is very time consuming so we charge per 15 minutes of footage that you require. For each tape just tell us exactly what you want converted and que the tape up to the point you need. So if you moment of glory is 5 minutes of footage when you were on Blue Peter or even 30 seconds when you were stood next to Dave Lee Travis on Top of The Pops', we will convert this and get it into a movie format for you so you can keep it on your laptop and bring it up on a project at your next meeting ... or perhaps not !

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.
