 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do my prints have to be standard 4x6 size to be scanned?
No, any size from wallet size (2½x3½ inches) up to 8½x11 size can be scanned at Shoebox prices.

Can I get extra copies of my CD or DVD?
Yes you can!

Do my photos need to be in size order?
No, you can put them in the general order you want them scanned.

Will you scan my photos in order?
Yes, we will scan the photos in the order you provide.  We can't guarantee the exact order, but putting your photos in order from oldest to newest or vice versa works for most people.

What type of photos can't you scan?
We can scan any type of photo with our regular scanning service, but for Shoebox Scans we cannot include the following:

• photos smaller than wallet size (2½ x 3½)
• photos larger than 8½ x 11
• mounted photos
• torn photos
• photos with glue or adhesive stuck to the back
• non-photo paper prints such as newspaper clippings

What type of slides or negatives can you scan?
We can scan pretty much any type of slide or negative with our regular scanning service, but for Shoebox Scans we can scan the following:

• 35mm slides (these are mounted positive slides, 1 inch by 1½ inches in size)
• 35mm negatives (1 inch by 1½ inches in size, full roll or cut in strips of no less than 4 photos)

How long does the service take?
Depending on the number of pictures you provide (we have seen orders in the thousands!), the service generally takes about a week.  Slides and negatives take slightly longer than prints.

What about copyrighted photos?
We honour photographer's copyrights.  For any photo taken within the last 50 years and stamped with a copyright, you will need written, signed permission from the photographer.
