Time Savings and Quality

Time Savings and Quality :: Picture of the City of Kamloops facing south, looking at the south shore, taken from Mount Paul Have you ever tried to scan a large number of photos using your flat-bed scanner? It can take a fortnight! Not to mention that there can be alignment issues, resolution issues and all sorts of other problems. Slides are a whole other story; reprints will look poor if the slides are scanned in at a low resolution. Some scanners only 'emulate' a high resolution rather than having actual high resolution scanning capable hardware, which can give poor results.

Dusty Photos uses the latest technology to convert your photos, slides, negatives and video into a high quality digital format, that will suit your needs, and save you time.

Gift Ideas - Graduations, Weddings, Family Reunions and more!

Gift Ideas - Graduations, Weddings, Family Reunions and more :: Family picture taken after weddingHave you ever had a hard time figuring out what to get someone for a birthday, graduation, wedding or special holiday gift? Having your photos or slides scanned and compiled into digital slide shows or presentations on DVD is a great solution! The same thing applies to video. Imagine having a digital DVD with menus and scene selection of your child's early years and then playing it at their wedding - it is a great way to share your memories with family and friends.

Another great gift is the digital photo frame, which is a relatively new technology to the consumer marketplace. Load your scanned photos, slides and/or video into your photo frame and display it at your family reunion. Most new photo frames will play music as well. You can load your favourite MP3 song into the photo frame and it will play along with your media.

Data Security - Saving Your Memories

Data security - saving your memories :: Tired kids after cross country skiingThe topic of data security may seem self explanatory; it is just a reminder of what you already know. Photos can deteriorate over time, even when stored in acid-free containers. These containers will help to keep our photos in good shape for longer; they just cannot compete with digital data, which lasts forever. What happens when you lose all of your photos? What is the first thing that people think about when they have a fire or flood? How do we put a value on our photos? To most of us, they are priceless.

Have us scan your photos, slides, negatives and capture your video!. You will have redundancy by saving your media on a CD, DVD or memory stick. Storing your media in multiple locations, such as at home and in a safety deposit box, will give you an added level of protection. Let us help you protect your memories!

Media Type Changes

Not so many years ago, we watched our movies on VHS and Beta tapes. There was no such thing as a digital camera. 8-track tapes were the latest and greatest thing since the LP record. The constant changes in technology are just as apparent today as they were in the 1970's. Keeping up with technology can be time consuming, irritating and costly.

With our photo scanning, slide scanning and video capture services, we can capture your old memories (not including the 8-tracks) and save them into digital format, which is portable to any computer or digital media output device available today. Our commitment to you is to keep up with today's latest and greatest technology - that way when DVD players become extinct, your data will still be useable.


We hope that the previous listed ideas help you understand the value of the service that we have to offer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! Contact Information
