<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smallaxe, post: 4252064, member: 13430&quot;]I don&#039;t have experience using digitizing services for photo, but I did try several with 8mm film. The quality difference between different services was huge, ranging from terrible to very good. I can&#039;t speak to Kodak&#039;s service as I didn&#039;t try them, but in general, the bigger volume outfits had poorer quality results. I now find out what equipment and process a company uses before even trying them. It&#039;s possible there is a local company that does media digitizing. The city near where I live is not very big (population hundreds of thousands) and there is a good local place that does this. A person there took me back and showed me all their various equipment for each of the different types of media they handle. Their service was very personal, open and helpful. Good sanners are cheap, and lots of regular people just scan their own photos and slides with great results. What the local place had was a very nice setup for digitizing photos or documents using a high quality digital SLR camera, which can give much better results than scanning in cases where controlling the lighting of the object is important. An example would be a heavily silvered old black and white photo, where scanners straight on lighting will reflect off the silvered areas, obscuring the underlying image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
