    Jump from a child’s first steps to their graduation with the press of a button. A menu is a navigation tool at the beginning of a disc that lets you jump right to the start of a section or group of photos.

Use chapters to clearly organize your photos into groups by date, event or other criteria.

  • Loop – Would you like your slideshow to loop (automatically replay when it gets to the end) so you don’t have to keep pressing play during your event? If so, choose this option, but keep in mind that we cannot loop a production with a menu or press play landing screen. $14.95/playable disc project

    Included in the price, your slideshow images will appear still on the screen, with smooth fade transitions between images. If you’d prefer, we can add custom effects or custom transitions to enhance the presentation of your photos in your slideshow.
  • Motion Effect – Our most popular effect, the motion effect brings your images to life. We’ll use our judgment to pan across your pictures, zoom in or out on the subject, highlight a particular detail in a photo and more. Add this effect to just a few pictures or your entire production. $0.45/image
  • Custom Transitions – Your slideshow includes smooth fade transitions between images, but you can have us add fancy, custom transitions such as wipes and spins to jazz-up the presentation and add interest to your show. $0.75/image, must add to all images
  • Other Special Effects – Have a Hollywood-style effect in mind? We can do it. $90.00/hour of editing timeOther commonly requested slideshow enhancements are:

ORGANIZE

Need help organizing and putting your photographs in order?
If you’ve organized and arranged your images in a particular order before bringing them in, we’ll do our best to keep them i order and present the digital images in the same fashion. Numbering the originals will help us guarantee the digital files will be organized just the way you want.

If you need help organizing your photographs, here are some options to consider

  • Proof Sheets- Preview your images on printed proof sheets with 35 thumbnails per sheet. The perfect solution for difficult-to-view slides and negatives, our proof sheets make organizing easy. Simply write on the proof sheet to indicate the order and note any other changes or edits.
  • On-Site Preview- Our photo organizing software makes it quick and easy to put images in order and save them with new file names that will preserve the correct order.
  • Data Discs- If we are producing a slideshow of your images, you might want a preview disc of the scanned images for organizing purposes. Once the files are on your computer, you can rename them into the correct order (we can show you how to do this when you pick-up your discs), make any deletions, and then return with a set of images in the new, correct order or with instructions for us to reorder them for you.
  • Full Organizing Service – Using our best judgement from years of experience, we’ll organize your photographs for you (chronologically or by subject/event).
  • Random Order- Would you like your images randomized so they don’t appear in any particular order? We can easily create a random file order.
EDIT

Want the opportunity to preview your slideshow production and make changes before the event?

  • Preview Onsite- Preview your finished slideshow onsite using our client workstation. No Charge

DIGITAL IMAGES

Digital cameras make it easy to take lots of great pictures, and it is easy to share them instantly online, but when was the last time you looked at your pictures from a year ago or sat down on the couch to share them with a friend?

Putting your digital images on DVD has the benefits of archiving your images and making them easier to share with friends and family anytime you want to relive your memories. For more information on putting your digital images into a DVD Slideshow, click here then click ‘Enhance’ in the left menu.

Testimonials

Thank you – the film transfers look terrific! It cost a little more than I had imagined, but it was well worth it. You did a great job and be sure that I will recommend your work anytime. I already did my first DVD with some of the clips and it just looks great!

Just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on my family’s movies. They were a big hit, especially the first DVD – The Early Years. Mom and Dad both teared up as they told their children and grandchildren about our family’s history.
