digmypics Reviews

I have hundreds of slides of my kids and grandkids, taken from 1960 through the early 90's, when we switched to digital. What to do with all these slides? Digmypics solved my problem. They are quick, efficient, pleasant and helpful when needed on the phone, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who doesn't just want to dump their precious slides in the garbage. I like the combination of the photos on a flash drive and the printed book with a 4 by 4 print of each picture.

I’ve used DigMyPics twice just this year, and I’d used them before this year. In each case I was entirely satisfied, with both the quality of the scans, and the processes involved. I end up with my slides returned safely, sorted correctly, and the scans looking great. I tried other scanning services, and found they weren’t as good, for several reasons. For me at least, DigMyPics has been totally dependable, with good service and high quality scans.

Digmypics did a great job on 2000 slides from 1980. They were timely, provided great process feedback, and even correct a couple of small naming issues that occurred during data entry. Their process is great. I could detect no aberrations from dust or scratches. Their face enhancement is a nice feature but their scanning is so good, it's almost not that different. The scanning is just great. I have used them twice now and will use them again. I trialed four different slide scanning companies and Digmypics was the top choice.

DigMyPics did a beautiful job with the snapshots I sent in. The FaceEnhance feature was an unexpected benefit! I wanted a way to share these image with my siblings and their children. I chose to store them for a year on the DigMyPics server and will send the link to everyone allowing them to select which photos they want to save.

I started scanning my slides using an Epson V600 scanner and wasn't thrilled with the results. I'm now preparing my second batch for digmypics because I was thrilled with their results from the first batch I sent. Even some challenging slides that were total crap on the scanner came out great. I'm a big fan and now will only use the scanner for an emergency backup while the other slides are in transit.

I just had my first order of videotapes digitized by DigMyPics, and I have to say, these guys are great! I’m a bit of a perfectionist and also a former video professional, so my standards are fairly exacting. Customer service has been highly responsive and I’ve also been able to confer with a technician over the phone to ensure best results. I’ve felt in good and caring hands throughout the process. This first order of mine consisted entirely of Betamax tapes, all between about 25 and 43 years old, including some dubs of reel to reel videotape productions made 50 years ago! I took the precaution of baking all the tapes before sending them off to DigMyPics, but just the same, the results well exceeded my expectations for such old and degraded media. By way of comparison, earlier I'd commissioned a local, custom facility to digitize some of these very same tapes and, although they tried hard and reputably broke two Betamax VCRs in the doing, their ability to ensure proper playback fell way short of what DigMyPics was able to accomplish at a fraction of the cost! Quite frankly, some of the results are astounding … having resurrected old tapes with time-base tracking errors and physical deterioration to produce quite acceptable looking mp3’s. The only issue was an incompatibility with iMovie, the Mac video editing program, requiring that I use an app like HandBrake to convert the DigMyPics mp3 files to a different codec for optimal use on a Mac. Given this snag, I rate DigMyPics a 9.5 out of 10 and will gladly use them for all future digitizing needs.

I could not be more pleased with the work of Digmypics. I submitted about 100 slides to be digitized. The process was easy to follow, even for someone with little computer savvy. When I called with a question, a human voice answered with kindness and patience. The slides were returned, packaged just as when I sent them, along with the thumb drive. Excellent service. I highly recommend Digmypics.

I have used DigMyPics on numerous occasions to preserve / convert everything from 35mm slides, 4x5 color negatives, 8mm and VHS video tapes into digital formats. Every order has been handled to perfection! I am very pleased with this organization. As I encounter more material to convert I will not hesitate to go straight to DigMyPics for their professional care and work.
