ScanMyPhotos.com, Victoria

ScanMyPhotos.com began in 1990 as a small retail photo center in Irvine, California, but thanks to innovations in Kodak photo-scanning technology soon blossomed into a national, online picture preserver. Lauded by Popular Photography as the "leader in digitizing prints," featured by USA Today, and mentioned in both Forbes and the Los Angeles Times, and profiled on KTLA-TV news, the company artfully converts printed memories into edit-ready, 150-, 300-, or 600-dpi images conveniently stored on a data DVD or flash drive, or uploaded to the cloud.

Technicians can also convert slides and negatives into digital files, restore timeworn photographs, and transfer VHS or 8mm to high-definition DVDs so that moms can preserve their children's first birthday parties and dads can update the home videos where they reenacted episodes of Charlie's Angels.
