Preserve Photos for Future Generations with Capture’s Photo Scanning Service
The most common ways people have traditionally kept family photos are in physical photo albums or shoeboxes. However, this method makes it difficult to share and preserve the memories for future generations. Old photos are also at risk of fading, discolouration, water damage, and other forms of deterioration, even when stored in albums, closets, or scrapbooks. Capture’s photo digitising service can scan loose photos, negatives, and slides and turn them into high-quality digital files and preserve them as digital downloads that are easy to share.
Why Should You Convert Photos to Digital?
There are many reasons to digitise photos, slides, and negatives:
The lifespan of photos, slides, and negatives can vary. It depends on what they're made of, how they're stored, and how old they are. Slides and negatives tend to last longer than traditional photo prints but can still deteriorate over time. Photo prints can fade or yellow quickly if not stored properly.
Photo albums and shoeboxes full of photographs are susceptible to floods, fire, theft, and other catastrophes, but digital images can be saved and shared forever.
Digital copies offer organizational features so you can rename, archive, and add additional information.
Photo albums, photo prints, scrapbooks, and shoeboxes of photographs take up a lot of space, but you can store them in digital format on your computer, a hard drive, a USB flash drive, or in the cloud (via iCloud, Google Photos, or Dropbox).
When you have preserved digital photo albums, your loved ones won’t have to fight over the physical copies of your family memories to enjoy them for decades to come.
It is much easier to share digital photos across the world with anybody using email and social media.
By digitising your photo albums and loose photographs and uploading them to platforms like Google Photos, you can immediately benefit from advanced search, archive, and reminder features
When we create digital photos from your precious memories, we use innovative retouching and color correction tools, so your old photos look as good as they can be. Plus, with your own photo editing software and image enhancement tools, you can improve and edit digital photographs the way you want.
With photo editing software, you can improve the quality of your slides without losing the original version

Photo scanner equipment will help you scan photos to digital format one at a time. Each scan will produce a new JPEG file. It requires lots of work but generally gives good results. However, you will pay for good quality digital memories because these machines cost US$300 or more. For example, the popular and reputable Epson FastFoto costs US$499.99. If you want a more affordable option, then a standard flatbed scanner can work, but the results won’t be as professional in appearance. .
- Pros
Typically decent quality DPI resolution (depending on the machine)
Creates JPEG files, which typically have good detail and colour
- Cons
Expensive, especially for the best photo-scanning service equipment
Time-consuming because you must complete each scanned image separately
You will have to remove each photo, which means you potentially damage old photos
You can use a digital camera or smartphone to take digital images of your physical photos. It’s fast and affordable because you can conveniently perform the scanning routine at home with items you already have. However, the digital copy will end up looking worse than the original photograph because it will pick up glares, dust, fingerprints, and other inconsistencies. It will also reduce the quality and produce a lower-resolution DPI.
- Pros
Affordable (if you already have a camera)
Convenient and you can do it yourself
- Cons
Low-quality that looks different from the original family photo
Will show glares, dust, scratches, and debris
Harder to crop so you may cut out some of the picture or show surrounding areas
Photo scanning apps like Photomyne take advantage of your smartphone technology to scan your photos better than simply using your camera, but the quality of the scans will depend primarily on the quality of your phone’s camera, lighting conditions, and your skill level. Plus, it’s a very time-consuming process to create each digital image one by one.
- Pros
Affordable as long as you own a smartphone with a decent camera
Affordable and simple do-it-yourself process
- Cons
Time-consuming, especially if you want single images
Quality depends on many factors including the quality of the camera, lighting and surroundings, and user skill
May show more glares, dust, reflections, and other frustrating imperfections
