Organizing Your Digital Images
For DVD Slide Show Creation

1-100 Images = $20. Additional Images 5 cents each.
Example: 500 image Slideshow = $40.00
 

In order to take advantage of our low, low pricing, your digital images must be organized so that it minimizes the amount of work that we will have to do.

 

We need all your images put in folders with no more than one level of sub-folders for each disk that we are creating. In other words, you can have ONE folder on your disk with multiple other sub-folders within that folder, BUT, you cannot have sub-folders within these sub-folders See below for the right way and the wrong way. If we are making DVD disks, figure on a maximum of 500 images per disk.

 

File Naming Instructions

Realize that your folders and images are going to be sorting by image NAME, so name accordingly or keep this in mind if you are renaming to change where an image sorts to. If you name with more than 8 characters, our DVD creation program will rename the files and folders.

No more than 8 characters or spaces in a folder or file name. The file name should have the extension of .jpg and this is not counted in the 8 characters.

 

Try to keep the number of images in each folder to about 100 or so. If you make extra large folders, then we may not be able to get as many images on a disk and will have to charge you for making more disks than were necessary. In other words, if you make two folders with 300 images in each, we can only get one folder on the disk.

 

The maximum number of images per DVD Disk is 500 if you figure about 2-3 megs per image.

 

There is an added charge if you want us to make disks that are not close to full and meaning we have to make more disks than would normally be necessary if you had organized better.

Again, have your folders and images organized and named so that all we have to do is copy all the folders into one large folder on our hard drive.

 

If you are putting text on your images, on your own, and you are planning on a slide show created by us, follow these instructions carefully.

Realize that TV screens have such a thing as "Over Scan". That is where some of the picture is actually hidden inside the TV box. They are designed this way so that the picture fills the screen. Nothing we can do about that but you can compensate for this by putting your image titles a good ways away from the edge of the image and more into the center by maybe half an inch or more, rather than closer to the edge of the image. This will assure that your text will be seen and not be hiding inside your TV box partially or even completely. We are not responsible for where you put your text and what shows up on your TV screen. When you do it yourself, you take all responsibility. If we did it, we would be responsible.

NOTICE: If we are sending you a disk with images that we scanned and you reorganized or added text to the images, we need you to send us your new, reorganized DVD data disk or thumbdrive back within three weeks of our sending to you, or we will consider the job completed. This is not an indefinite offer. Please take care of it promptly. We can't have your job sitting in limbo while you find the time to do the work that needs to be done.
