Which format do you use? We are RAW here in the office!

Is it wrong to shoot JPEG solely with its editing limitations or should you shoot in raw where you have greater scope in p...

Protecting Your Photos Before an Extreme Weather Event: Save Your Photos Month with The Photo Managers
We have used multiple libraries for years! All of our client work goes into it's own individual photo library if we are making a slide show or book. Just remember, when you create a new library, it is NOT backup to the cloud, only one library can do that. So make sure you have your time machine back up working correctly!
You can easily set up and use a second photo library in macOS to segregate all your photos for better organization. We'll teach you how to do it.

Old photos can be a treasure that keeps on giving — if you can get them out of boxes and drawers and get at them. That's where digitization comes in.

Film Conversion
Digital Recollections offers a video and film transfer service as part of a total solution package for corporations as well as individuals. We can help you create a memorable and stunning video to your specifications and budget.
The most common transfer that we do is from 8mm and Super 8mm film to digital. Using our telecine film transfer method we ensure that the quality of your 8mm film, Super 8 film, and 16mm film, is completely captured – digitally. You will never have to worry about your films fading as the digital process will actually improve the quality of your footage.
The basic film transfer includes our digital film transfer, complete digital upload to our real time digital editing suites, and a very low compression for the highest quality video. We only use Final Cut Pro Studio, the absolute best in the world. In other words, your footage is captured into the computer at high resolution, edited and then either put onto a DVD or the uncompressed footage is copied onto a USB drive or a personal hard drive.

Tiny USB Drives Carry Big Messages!
USB Drives— those keychain-sized storage devices that plug into desktops and laptops—are fast becoming the next hot marketing vehicle. Why? Ubiquity. Capacity and Novelty.
Digital Recollections now offers customized USB Drive opportunities that will help you and your business create a high profile company giveaway and marketing tool. And one that continues to promote your company, its message, and its products for years to come.
USB Drives – often called Flash Drives – are compatible with most computers, have more storage capacity than CD’s and are reusable. They also carry that WOW factor! And soon, USB Drive giveaways will become as ubiquitous at trade shows as a keychain. And like a keychain, the Drive’s case can be stamped with your company logo, as well as carry its marketing message. USB drives can also be programmed to create a deeper link with the customer and consumer, by requiring the user to register, or go to a link, in order to free the drive for his own use.
Equipment we use to duplicate USB Drives!
