» Scan Your Entire Photo & Film Collection

Scan your entire photo and film collection!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!

TIFF vs JPEGAt DigMyPics, 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. DigMyPics 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.


So why scan and work in TIFF?
TIFF
JPEG
Lossless File: Editing and resaving results in no loss in quality or degradation to the image. Lossy File: Every time it is edited and resaved there is a loss in quality to the image.

  • Viewing, emailing, creating web galleries and SlideShow Movies (low-res)
  • Printing photos and photo gifts
  • Burning discs to share (high-res)
Pros:
  • A TIFF file is more flexible than a JPEG because it retains all of its information
  • You can create a JPEG from a TIFF file if you have the proper software
