Once we scan and manually color and exposure correct each of your images you'll be able to review your newly scanned photos online with Don't Want, Don't Pay™ and delete the ones you don't want. We'll deduct the full scanning charge for each deleted photo for up to 35% of the photos in each type of photo in your order.

This saves you the time and frustration of looking through all of your photos to decide what is worth sending in to scan, just send your entire collection and delete the ones you don't want online! See for yourself!

And...unlike Scancafe's system, our system is fast and easy to use.  Why spend more time deleting the photos you don't want than you would have spent scanning the ones you do want?

To get ScanCafe’s lowest price you can only have 35mm color slides and negatives. Many people have a variety of film types in their collection, including 127, 126, 110, 35mm half frames and APS, in both color and black and white. At DigMyPics, we scan ALL common slide formats with no hassle or compromise!

DigMyPics Scans ALL These Slide & Negative Film Types Most people have a variety of film types in their photo collection. We don't think you should have to pick and choose which ones are worth digitizing. For Non-Standard Slides & Negatives *35mm slides scanned at 7MP@2500dpi is more than enough to produce a quality 8x10 print @300dpi

We scan and work with your photos in the TIFF format. Working in TIFF produces a larger file, which takes longer to process, but results in a higher-quality image. ScanCafe scans and edits in JPEG format, which is a faster process for them, but the quality of the image will be degraded with each edit they make. We will never charge you more to save your images in TIFF, so you can get TIFF, JPEG, or both formats and you only pay for the extra discs that may be required.

DigMyPics has been digitizing photos and film for over 7 years! During that time, we've assembled the industry's most skilled and talented group of university-educated digitization technicians. Our staff loves photography as much as you do and we value your photos like they were our own! We do all the work from our sole location in Arizona, so you can feel good about supporting the American photographers and artists that work at DigMyPics!

Our skilled photographers and artists always provide basic enhancement (color/exposure correction, cropping and rotating to the proper orientation) on an image-by-image basis. There is no automated image processing besides using Digital ICE (dust, scratch and blemish removal) during the scanning of your color film. See more samples of our work!

DigMyPics uses the Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 with Digital ICE Pro exclusively on 35mm slides and medium format film. The difference is huge!

You can at DigMyPics!  And don't be surprised if you receive a friendly call or email from us during the process. All of our employees strive to get things done right the first time. Sometimes that means picking up the phone or sending a quick email if they need to clarify your preferences or have recommendations.

Do you envision your own library of digital images that is easy to reference for a specific photo when you need it? A computer reads files numerically, then alphabetically. At DigMyPics, we not only name your folders according to your instructions, we also prefix the images with the same name for easy reference. ScanCafe on the other hand, say they offer customized naming, but will only allow you to customize your folders while using generic numbering for the images within those folders.
