What is Photo Soap?

Photo Soap, formerly known as Crystal Diamond Photo Enhancement, is the newest version of our enhancement process. New features, new name. See what the fuss is about with the all new features:

  1. ALL NEW: Face detection The incorporation of face detection technology results in an even more robust solution to ensure exact exposure and color reproduction for what is the most viewed part of a photograph: the face.
  2. ALL NEW: Beautiful skin tones Refinements now enable corrections that show more detail in the face with a more natural skin hue and color.
  3. ALL NEW: Greater shadow detail / Better highlights A core strength brightening each individual pixel while maintaining real color with zero artifacts is even stronger now to draw out more details in the shadows and maintain detail in highlight areas.
  4. ALL NEW: Sharper images A series of powerful, unique algorithms have been enhanced to deliver a crisp-looking photo that is still artifact-free.
  5. Remove abnormal tint caused by tungsten, fluorescent, Ultra Violet, and Infrared lighting
  6. Restore color vibrancy to washed out and faded photographs
  7. Optimize the exposure for underexposed photos
  8. Apply medical quality contrast and sharpness

Each image enhancement is unique and results from picture to picture will differ. Every picture is corrected differently and the software may correct some images more than others. Individual results may vary.

Scanning-Services

Q. Can you scan slides or negatives?

Yes we can but the high speed scanning is only available for print scanning. We scan slides and negatives as a separate service. The cost varies depending upon quantity and resolution. For more info, please visit our slide or negative scanning sections.

Q. What resolution are my photos scanned at?

We offer scanning at 72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI.

The final file size will vary depending upon the size of the original photograph. A standard 4x6 at 300 DPI usually is about 700KB -1MB in size whereas at 600 DPI ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 MB.

Many websites refer to resolution as a pixel by pixel notation.

To determine what your own picture's pixel-by-pixel resolution will be, multiply the inches by 300 DPI or 600 DPI. For example, a 4"x6" print will have a resolution of 1200x1800 at 300 DPI (4" x 300 DPI = 1200 pixels, 6" x 300 DPI = 1800 pixels) and 2400x3600 at 600 DPI (4" x 600 DPI = 2400 pixels, 6" x 600 DPI = 3600 pixels).

Q. Can you scan my photos at a higher resolution?

The highest resolution we offer is 600 DPI photo scanning which is more than adequate for nearly every situation. See https://www.scanmyphotos.com/samplescans.html for information regarding 300 and 600 DPI scanning.
