Will having my photos scanned make them look better?

YES.
Well to clarify that answer... 99.9% of photographs can be enhanced by scanning them to a digital format. Every photograph presented to Scared Cat Scanning goes through a process of a digital clean (removal of any unsightly blemishes, scratches etc.) and then a sharpen (Clarifying the images slightly enhancing the end result).

How should I send the pictures to you and do I get them back?

R. Atkinson, Suffolk, United Kingdom.

Send them any way you wish. Please package them in a way that affords them some protection from the rigors of the postal service. If they're important to you then add some insurance to the postal service you choose. We return all originals if a stamped self addressed envelope is provided or indeed the extra cost of return postage is included within your order.

Why should I have my photos scanned, what's the point?

Photos and prints do not last forever! They will fade with age! It's a good idea to preserve your photographic memories by having them scanned and saved digitally. Also you can then send your images to your friends and family around the world via the Internet or keep an online photo gallery for people to view and comment on.

I have a library of pictures that I want scanned and burnt to a CD. Do you have bulk discounts?

Nell McAndrew, Borders, United Kingdom.

YES.
If you have a large order or perhaps an unusual request then please e-mail us with details and we can work on a cost that suits both parties. Always happy to oblige.

I'd like my photo to be faded to white around the edges in an oval shape and have it converted from colour to sepia tones. Can you do this type of special effect?

Victoria Silvstedt, fjordö, Sweden.

YES.
We've e-mailed you a price on this request. If you require special effects then explain to us what you need in an e-mail and perhaps attach an example if you can. We can easily convert colour to black and white and fade edges or apply duotones or indeed produce a photo-montage from a number of images.

Aaahh Yes. A common problem this! The old aerial sticking out of your friends ear!
Yes we can retouch images and take out any unwanted blemishes, aerials, friends or pets you wish. Of course we would need to see the original to understand the complexity of each request. Please do not send us any images over 4mb in file size without prior communication.
