Instructions one should follow while opting for a photo scan service

• Remove photos from envelops, albums and make certain no paper clips, post it notes and staples are attached. Group all photographs in a well specified order with smallest images up front while largest at back of order.
• If one has grouped all photos into certain categories, it is important to ensure that all groups are packaged together well to prevent the extra expenses to scan all of them in proper order.
• Always remember that laminated images, old patterned photos and newspaper clippings can never be scanned. Also, make certain that every image is face up. If the image is upside down, the scanning will also be face down or upside down. In this way, you will get your photo scanned from the back, not from front.
• In addition, all photographs should be lying parallel, irrespective of orientation. If one wants to have vertical photos rotated to appropriate orientation, one can opt for additional services provided by several professionals.
• Now, fan through all photographs and shuffle them just like a deck of cards getting them out of order or without sorting. It helps verify that all photographs are presented loosely and devoid of any obstruction such as sticky or glue material. Any substance such as pen marks or water marks on the photo will get scanned with image.
• Curly images may be scanned unsystematically because they are not able to lie down flat on scanning glass.
• All images should be stacked in a box fairly so that no shifting can occur during shipment. You can use rubber bands but do not use loose ones as all photographs are likely to shift around during shipping in this kind of storage.

One has to stuff the box properly and for doing so, he or she can make use of some packing materials like newspapers to ensure that box is solid and filled completely. If the box has extra unfilled space, the photos will shift around during delivery and the box may also get crushed or creased.

So, keep above instructions always in mind while going for photo scanning services and enjoy maximum value of your money.
