Group your slides, prints and film separately and label the group with a name, (example: Christmas 1974). We will place that group in its own directory (folder). You can have as many directories as you like. Helpful Tip: Try to put 40-50 slides in a group. Note: We cannot group slides, prints and negatives together. Please keep them separated.</li> <li>After Processing: If you do not want to take the time to organize and number your photos before shipping them, no problem. Our online gallery allows you to organize and label your photos into virtual albums once they are processed. Note: photos will be placed onto disc in the order in which we process them. </li> </ol> </blockquote> <ol start="3"> <li>Use only a ball point pen when numbering slides or back of prints.

What is DPI and resolution?</font></a></b></p> <blockquote> <p>Resolution and DPI (Dots Per Inch) are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. </p> <p>Any digital image is composed of pixels. The pixels are the small colored square dots that can sometimes be seen when images are enlarged too much, or if you look at your screen close enough. Resolution is the number of pixels in the horizontal direction by the number of pixels in the vertical direction. For example, a picture with 1200 pixels at the horizontal direction and 2100 pixels at the vertical direction would have a resolution of 1200 x 2100 pixels.</p> <p>As you've probably noticed, nowhere in the above definition it is said what size the pixels are. This is where the DPI comes in. DPI is simply Dots Per Inch. A picture with 100 x 100 resolution would be 1 x 1 inch when printed at 100 DPI, and 100 x 100 inch when printed at 1 DPI!</p> <p>There's a tradeoff. The bigger the resolution, the bigger the image is. It will take more disk space, occupy more memory when loaded, and will take longer to load or email. On the other hand, the bigger the resolution, the better the image looks when printed.</p> <p align="right"><b>[<a href="#top">top of page</a>]</b></p> </blockquote> <p><b> <a name="14.__Why_does_Legacy_only_offer_600_DPI_for_prints,_albums_and_documents_and_3000_DPI_for_Slides,_negatives_and_film"> <font color="#A2220E">15.

What is a DataDVD disc?</font></a></b></p> <blockquote> <p>A DataDVD disc contains image files that you will be able to view, download and share on your PC or Mac’s DVD drive. A Data DVD is not a DVD Video; it will not play in a set top DVD player. Data DVDs work just like a CD-Rom. A Data DVD is storage medium for storing files just like a CD. Since a Data DVD can hold up to 4700 MB of storage, it would take 7 CD’s to store what 1 Data DVD can hold. Data DVDs work with computers like CD-ROMs do. However your computer needs to have a DVD-ROM disk drive to read our Data DVDs. If your computer does not have a DVD drive, you may choose to have your photos sent to you on CDs. Note: See pricing chart for additional cost.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>This chart shows how many prints fit on a disk.</p> </blockquote> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="3" id="table33" style="border-collapse: collapse" cellspacing="0" width="220"> <tr> <td valign="bottom" style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="#A2220E"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b>At 600 DPI</b></font></td> <td style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="#A2220E"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b> On CD</b></font></td> <td style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="#A2220E"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b> On DVD</b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center"> 3x5 Prints</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">185</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">1342<i> </i></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center"> 4x6 Prints</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">130</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">940</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center"> 5x7 Prints</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">81</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">587</td> </tr> </table> </div> <blockquote> <p>This chart shows how many Slide and Negatives fit on a disk.</p> </blockquote> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="3" id="table34" style="border-collapse: collapse" cellspacing="0" width="220"> <tr> <td style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="#A2220E"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b> At 3000 DPI</b></font></td> <td style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="#A2220E"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b> On CD</b></font></td> <td style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="#A2220E"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b> On DVD</b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">Slides or<br> Negatives</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">100</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> <p align="center">723</td> </tr> </table> </div> <blockquote> <p align="right"><b>[<a href="#top">top of page</a>]</b></p> </blockquote> <p><b>Still have questions? <a href="contact.asp">Contact us</a>. <br> </b></td> <td background="images/border_right.gif" width="10" valign="top"><img border="0" src="images/border_right_top.gif" width="10" height="56"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10" height="5733" valign="bottom" background="images/border_left.gif"> <img border="0" src="images/border_left_bottom.gif" width="10" height="56"></td> <td background="images/border_right.gif" width="10" valign="bottom"><img border="0" src="images/border_right_bottom.gif" width="10" height="56"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" id="table16"> <tr> <td width="34" height="14"> <img border="0" src="images/border_bottom_left.gif" width="34" height="14"></td> <td background="images/border_bottom.gif"><img border="0" src="images/border_bottom.gif" width="34" height="14"></td> <td width="34"><img border="0" src="images/border_bottom_right.gif" width="34" height="14"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20" height="18" valign="top"> </td> <td valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td background="images/footer.gif" height="21" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #FFFFFF"> <p align="center"><a href="contact.asp">Contact Us</a> | <a href="legal.asp">Legal & Privacy</a> | ©2007 Legacy Photo Scanning & Digitizing</td> </tr> </table> </div> <table width="93%" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="6%"> </td> <td width="16%"> </td> <td width="19%"><div align="center"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.bbbonline.org/cks.asp?id=108040975649233"><img title="Click to verify BBB accreditation and to see a BBB report." border=0 src="bbbseal1.gif" alt="Click to verify BBB accreditation and to see a BBB report." oncontextmenu="alert('Use without permission is prohibited.
