PHOTOS

$2 for prints; $1.50 for digital

Photo Slideshow

Print price includes scanning photo, slide, or negative at high resolution. Also includes photo optimization, such as correcting contrast and color, buffing out dust and scratches, sharpening image, and fixing problems such as creases, rips, minor "red-eye," and crooked angles. Price also covers photo movement (zooms and pans). Print price also applies to any document up to 8"x10", such as invitations, drawings, and cards.
    Digital price is for photos from a digital camera or your own scans. Digital price includes all photo optimization except dust and scratch removal. See our Photo Scan page for important guidelines if you are doing the scanning.

SONGS

$10 each

Montage video

Each song is custom-edited to perfectly accompany your photos. That includes editing verses, adding fades, looping the choruses, or doing whatever is needed to provide the most powerful emotional impact. Using audio editing software, we can gracefully shorten or lengthen most songs when we create slideshow with music.
    Please allot at least 6 seconds of music for every photo (1 minute of music per 10 photos). If possible, try to have some additional time in the song left over as well, which will enable more creativity.
    Note that you must provide all songs you wish to use, either on original or burned CDs. For more information about music, please see our Slideshow Music page.

TITLES
