Why Scan?
Protect your memories against loss. Natural disasters, accidents and forgetfulness can all result in the loss your most important documents and images. Once they are in digital format they can be easily duplicated and transported. Protect your memories against aging. Photos, inks, film and paper all degrade over time. Scanning into digital formats allow you to preserve pristine copies of your pictures just the way you remember them. Complete your transition to an all digital world. Most people use digital cameras now so all of their new photos are already in digital format. Bringing your older paper and film based photos into the digital world allows you to use the same image management, online viewing and digital scrapbooking tools that you use with your new photos. You will want to make the transition while the equipment to handle your job is readily available. Meet government and business regulations.
