Digitizing Physical Media
The best time to scan your old, outdated physical media was yesterday.
The second best is today.
Scanning photos is tedious.
Preparing Photos - Clean and dust for the best quality scans
Preparing Worksurface - Similar to above, smudged glass and dusty surfaces can affect the quality of a scan
Scanning - Hours of repetitive work, that could be emotionally taxing if you are doing it yourself
Reviewing - Ensuring all scans came out sharp
Post-Processing - Cropping, color correcting, adding metadata, and digital organizing

Digital Photo Organizing
Imagine all your photo memories - physical photo albums, 2000s digital camera photos, photos from your old phone, your current smartphone photo gallery - in one central hub. Memories of your life enduring the massive changes in technology.
The only way photos taken today can be enjoyed well into the future is to declutter and curate your digital photo collection.
On our phones, we are all snapping numerous screenshots, taking ten versions of the same photo, and downloading photos from text messages.
We have to!
Multiple steps can be taken to better curate your digital photo legacy such as deduplicating photos, deleting unnecessary photos, adding in keywords, and ensuring best metadata practices are upheld
Not to mention, decluttering your photos could save you MONEY on cloud storage!
BUT the work is never finished until there are multiple digital backups - guaranteeing the future of your memories.
That is why it is imperative that photos have multiple digital back ups.
Hard drives fail everyday
People lose access to accounts
Cloud services have emerged and disappeared within the last decades
The best way to ensure these files are kept whole for the future is to maintain three copies of your collection in two separate locations. One of these locations should be a paid cloud storage service and the other should be a computer and/ or external hard drive.
Sincerely Kept help you create and implement your photo backup plan.
