We recommend that photos be removed from albums before you bring them in for scanning. If you prefer not to, or if the age or construction of the album prevents removal of photos, we can still help. There is is an additional 40¢ per photo fee to process them without removal, or for us to pull the books apart for you.

Which resolution? 300dpi is sufficient for reprinting pictures their current size, or viewing on a monitor.
