MemoryBox Reviews - Page 166

"I just received my first order of 100 slides converted to Digital on two CDs. Some of the slides were 40 years old. Many were taken during my early years in the U.S. Navy and contain great memories of places visited. Now I have these images in digital format and can share them on my Blog and also with my Siblings who reside in the Mid-West, while I enjoy mild Georgia U. S. A. Winters full time. The quality of the images was terrific. Today, I will go through more slides to submit another order. I hope to conclude the conversion from slides to digital with my efforts today, January 20, 2012. Of course while I am sorting the slides I want scanned I am also eliminating a lot of poor shots taken way back when. In addition to the CDs they also return your original slides. While few have 35MM Slide Projectors I still do and I also enjoy the slides in this manner. As regards the conversion process, I was able to view the preliminary scans and to reject those I did not desire on the CDs. I rejected four of the 100 submitted. Additionally I was provided a software tool where I could convert the images on the CSs to read/write. I have uploaded the images to my Computer and have edited several to improve the color or to crop sections out of the images. I have no other experience with companies that scan slides; however I will say, I will rely on this firm to complete my project - converting slides to digital. While I did not order any DVD's I understand that it is possible to make a movie along with appropriate music. This firm is impressive. As regards customer service: I was able to communicate via E-Mail about my order and received rapid responses. This firm believes in keeping the customer satisfied and also very happy. I found them on the WWW and I appreciate the service I have receive. Well Done!!!!"

"We had approx 1000 old slides from as far back as 1967 put on DVD,s.The whole process was very easy and the results could not have been any better. Besides cleaning out a closet full of slide trays we now have the pictures where they are easy to access and enjoy."

"I received my slides and CD's back today, and after final review, I want to say that I am extremely pleased with your service and would recommend it to anyone. The quality of the photos are fantastic and are well worth the cost. It was made a most enjoyable experience by your easy to follow step by step process including your inbound label printing, in process and final reviews, and in process email notifications. I can now enjoy them along with sharing them with some of my old friends."

"I had several old 8MM movies I took while in the Navy back in 1971. They are old and getting brittle. I recently reunited with my old shipmates whom I have not seen in nearly 40 years. I told them about the old movies with many of them in it as well as shipboard operations on a vessel that has been decommissioned since 1975. I took a chance on digmypics not knowing if I would lose these precious films or get scammed as I found them on the Internet. There were a few issues like parts out of sequence (I was a contributor!) and finally an unreadable DVD. digmypics made everything right! Color and focus is fantastic...looks great on my LCD TV. I cant wait to show my old shipmates! I strongly recommend and will engage digmypics again!"

"Some large format black & white negatives from 60 years ago showing our small town high school graduation ceremonies became available. Digmypics worked with them and put them on DVD. Now I can share with my schoolmates. Digmypics allowed me to pick and choose what I would finally select and pay for, but I wound up taking them all even though one negative had a bad spot. "

"My three brothers and I "stole" mom's pictures that she has stored in several boxes throughout her house. We sent them to you to have them digitized for a surprise Christmas present. She is 84 years old and is having the best time seeing these pictures on her HDTV. They are much larger than the little prints she was so accustomed to viewing. There is detail that none of us has ever noticed. Long lost relatives are seen in the background as well as long lost pets that were not noticed before. It was a great Christmas idea and our mother is having the time of her life seeing these "new" large pictures from the comfort of her favorite chair without dragging out all thoses boxes. "

"I first learned of DigMyPics from the Wall Street Journal maybe 5 years back... I always remembered the name but still wasn't "ready" for finally assembling my project and paying "someone else" to scan for me. So, first job I sent was a few years ago: all of my honeymoon slides (yes slides) from 1995. I'd tried scanning myself on a Canon slide scanner and then later a very recent flat-bed... while I could do the scans myself (ignoring about 1 minute a piece for about 600 slides) I wasn't comfortable with optimizing them color/exposure wise. Needless to say, DigMyPics really did a GREAT post-scan job in terms of correction. I simply could not have done it myself, and, my biggest holdback in finally getting this project done was worrying that it was done right the first time. I have no doubt that DMP brought my memories to digital as best as can be done. This past month I had them do the rest of my 20 years of photos with my darling bride. About 1600 negatives. Again, I'm very happy that they are FINALLY on my Mac and I know that the best possible scanning and correction has been applied. So, sorry for the rambling comments - but I really do appreciate this company - the prices are fair, the work is top-notch, and as I've said, the peace-of-mind I have that my memories are now digital (and optimal) is very much worth it. They'll be getting my 8mm video tapes next!"

"It was amazing how you could restore the film. Some of the 8mm was about 55 years old and smelled bad. Probably needed lots of splicing. I recently also sent you a few hundred slides and I have a few hundred more to send. I am very pleased with the speed of service, the phone calls and the e-mail responses. This was my third order. Great Service. Thanks, David"

"Christmas is always a rush to get things done. As fate would have it I was a few days late in getting my 800+ pictures in for scanning; an intended Christmas gift(s) of Digital Picture Frames for our two sons. The intended gifts took on a special meaning for us as both our sons are now young adults working in different states. We desperately wanted to remind them of the deep family roots that serve to tie us together. Despite missing deadlines the “DigMyPics” team assisted us in completing the scan project ahead of schedule, to include some coaching on reducing all to SD storage discs to accelerate the import to Digital Picture Frames. All arrived two days before Christmas and the rest is a very happy ending for all. A very professional job, most helpful and informative people; we couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks to the “Digmypics team” for making our Christmas for our sons something meaningful to remember. Sincerely, The Richardson’s Houston, TX "

"I was VERY impressed with the high quality of the prints that came back compared to the low quality photos I sent in. Great job. Great attention to detail. Thanks."

"As a Christmas gift to my family, I ordered our family slides digitized in 4 sets of high & low resolution and thumbnail printed guides. As the holidays are a very busy for this company, you need to allow extra time for a large project. My order did not arrive as specified, but the very pleasant & helpful customer service folks tried to rectify by Christmas, however, there was not enough time. Ultimately, I received all items ordered and the scanning job is high quality. Slides/photos were not grouped & labelled as I had requested, and I suggest customers package and label into groups exactly how they want them to avoid confusion. However, I was not charged extra for smaller groupings, so that was good. My family is thrilled with the quality of the scans, and happy to each have their own copies of our family slides. "

"Just received my originals and the DVD's containing my digital photos. The results are jaw-dropping. Excellent work and thank you very much for the high quality results and excellent communication."

"I just want to tell you how wonderful you employees did with the scans of our photos. We sent you some old faded photos that were from years ago. They were to be used on the occasion of my husband's 80th birthday. The person who did the enhancing of the photos did a great job because the scans looked a lot better than the originals. Really. They were put into a slide show for the celebration and a good time was had by all, especially the 80 year old birthday boy. Thanks for doing a great job. Ellen Appel"

"The photos look great even though they are 30 years old and survived two floods. Your service was very good and convenient. The cost was more than reasonable. "

"I am a repeat customer. As I go back to my legacy collection of 35mm slides, I have had digmypics do the scanning. I have selected the high-res files, and they have done a good job. When they come back I only have to do a bit of dust-spotting and some color and contrast tweaks, but overall my photos are looking better than new."
