Prices on photo scanning slashed!

It’s been a little while now since PiciScan started offering discounts for bulk orders. For customers using our negative scanning and slide scanning services, the points at which the two different discounts offered kicks in has always been the same.

Video to DVD transfer no longer offered.

From today, PiciScan will no longer be offering a home video to DVD transfer service. It is no longer proving cost effective. In order to make it a viable option for us, we would have to set a price point that would make the service prohibitively expensive for customers. Any orders of this type we [...]

Christmas is a time for giving, for looking back and rescuing what you thought was lost.

It’s nearly the time of year to be going up into the loft and bringing down all the Christmas decorations, locating the tree and seeing if those lights from last year still work, or if you need to buy any more. As you’re in the loft, you may cast your torch around to see what [...]

All slides are equal. But some slides are more equal than others.

Hopefully George Orwell will forgive me for borrowing from his seminal masterpiece for the title of this post. We love slide scanning at PiciScan. It is, at present, one of our most used services. And as such, we love slides. All slides. All shapes and sizes. Without them there would be no need for a slide scanning [...]

VHS-C home video conversion feedback

Home video to DVD conversion is going well for us here at PiciScan just now. Probably helped by our great price, and free return delivery on all our orders. We recently had an order of 2 VHS-C tapes to convert them to DVD and this is what the customer had to say: “Just received the [...]

Uses for scanned slides

Recently a customer asked us to scan her parents’ holiday photos. They showed particularly memorable holidays to two stunning locations. In conversation with her she told us why she wanted PiciScan to digitise her slides. It was so that she could produce a photo book as a present for her Dad’s birthday. Perhaps that’s something [...]
