Photo Scanning and the 300 vs 600 DPI Myth
ScanMyPhotos.com says: “Too many people are having their pictures digitized at the highest super-premium resolution when they may only be uploading their photographs to social media sites.”
Unless your car requires premium-grade high-octane gasoline, you are wasting money. Pumping the higher-priced premium fuel when your vehicle requires regular is a cash guzzler.
The same is true when it comes to digitizing pictures. In actuality is like premium gasoline, ultra-high photo scanning resolutions are not always required.
According to ScanMyPhotos.com, which has digitized 600 million pictures, uploading newly scanned photographs to social media photo-sharing apps is a waste of money.
After asking 480 recent customers how they shared their scanned snapshots, nearly 80 percent revealed they just post to sites like Facebook, Instagram, Snap, and Twitter.
If you drive a high-performance car or are a professional photographer archivist, the top grade is the way to go. For photo scanning at ScanMyPhotos.com, the three digitization resolution grades are 150 dpi (1 cent each), 300 dpi (8 cents) and 600 dpi (16 cents). Compare this to buying a DIY scanner, which may cost $600 before the time and labor of digitizing a single photo. Or outsourcing, where prices range from 40 cents to a dollar. According to PC Magazine [April 8, 2019, “Get Organized: How to Scan Your Old Photos,”], it may take months to return.
