Wasatch Girl: The Digital Life

    Rachel,

    How did the end product turn out. I used scancafe about 8 months ago but only thought the results were so so on some and good on others. I had a lot of medium format negatives to scan and those were the ones that were so so.

    Wow Rachel,
    I'm surprised you used Fotobridge; there's a local service called Acentra that goes to your house and scans all of them there. They get done in @2hrs and can do a couple thousand at a time. They've done all of ours as well as our documents (turning them into searchable PDFs). Def cool. check them out...

    Don,
    Leffers actually asked me the same question, which means I should probably do a follow up post. =) Right now I am organizing them and will post up when I get done.
    Thanks for the comment.

    Matt,
    I believe I heard of Acentra awhile ago (the concept sounds real familar) at a Speedpitching event, but had forgotten about them. They must not have very good SEO because I actively researched for about a week and never came across their name. Now that I look at their site, it looks like a Salt Lake office is still in the works plus I can't even get the details I am looking for on their website.

    I must admit I was super impressed with Fotobridge and would recommend them to anyone. Their website was very easy to use, customer service extremely responsive and so far I am impressed with the quality.
    Thank you for the comment.

    Rachel,

    I too am curious how the results turned out. I have about 5000 photos I want scanned (all prints).

    Don,
    So the photo prints you had scanned turned out good?

    I look forward to a follow-up post.

    Ah...isn't Matt Bills the Acentra guy? A little fishy marketing going on here?

    Anyway - I've used PhotoMax and they do a superb job. We sent in our grandfather's very old, very delicate photos, and everything turned out great.
