The Benefits of DVD Professional Slideshows by Thais

I'm sure you've got at least one somewhere... a shoebox full of photographs or digital pictures on your pc/mac/ipod/iphone/zip-drive/ or any storage device . Putting your precious photographs on DVD is one of the best things you can do for your memories and your photo library. Here are some of the biggest advantages:

Make an Impact

Just ask anyone who's seen one... watching a slide show of your photos can really be touching and emotional. It can bring back those memories that have been tucked away in the back of your mind. It can also be entertaining, light-hearted, even funny. One thing is for sure -- those who watch it won't forget it!

Photographs Look Great on TV
What size photos do you have at home? 4x6? 5x7? Perhaps 8x10? With photos on DVD you're limited only by the size of your television screen. You'll see greater detail in your photos. And because of the increased size, more people will be able to view the photo at the same time.

Photo Quality Won't Degrade Over Time

When photographs are exposed to certain kinds of light they have a tendency, to degrade over time. Have you ever seen old photographs which have yellowed and become frail? Time ruins photos. In addition, the more your photos are handled, the greater the risk of bending, tearing and generally damaging them. Putting your photos on DVD in the digital format preserves them electronically for all time. Plus, if you have a DVD drive in your computer you'll be able to view them on your PC as well. DVDs also won't wear out like a VHS tape eventually will. 100 years from now your photos will look as good as they do today!

A Good Slide Show Helps You Relive the Memories
Photos are photos. BUT, when you add the appropriate mood music in the background, and you have meaningful or witty captions on each photo you can become immersed in the memory. You suddenly remember how it felt to walk on the beach on your vacation; and what fun you had at your birthday party; and what you felt at your wedding; etc. Not only will it remind you, but your friends and family will feel like they were there with you.

Save Storage Space

How many photo albums have you collected over the years that are taking up too much room on your shelf? Get back that space by converting your photos to DVD. A DVD (in its case) is a mere 1/2 inch thick.

DVDs Are More Portable Than Traditional Albums

Have you ever taken a photo album to a friend's house to show them your vacation pictures? Albums often weigh several pounds each, and take up lots of space. DVDs are much smaller and weigh mere ounces in comparison.

Modern Advantages of Digital

Our culture is becoming more and more technology based, and being able to participate in it digitally has become mainstream. One of the results of moving your photographic prints to DVD is that you will also receive your photos in the digital graphic format known as a JPEG. This highly compatible format allows you to then use these photos in other digital applications -- for example, you could e-mail your old photos to a friend.

Can't I just make my own DVD slideshow?

Sure you can. If you have the time and expertise to do so, or simply enjoy that sort of technical/artistic work, of course you can. However, I have years of experience and have completed literally hundreds of slide shows for customers big and small. I know what works and what doesn't, and I want to help you avoid any problems.


Secondly, there may be time concerns with doing it yourself. Scanning photos and learning the software to do all that I do may not require a Ph.D., but it will certainly require MANY HOURS of effort. I can help off-load that task from your to-do list and you can concentrate on other things... like getting married, planning your event, or simply life in general.


When would you show off this DVD slide show?

That's really a personal decision and it depends on the particulars of your situation.

For illustration purposes, consider a wedding event...
Some customers elect to show it to family and friends at the rehearsal dinner.
Others choose to show it at the reception during dinner or
during the cocktail hour. Some just want to have it running continuously off to
the side of the main event as a "decoration."

Anniversary Parties


Whether it's the 1st, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th or 75th Anniversary...
Take a walk down memory lane as you watch your DVD slideshow
of photos taken over the years. It's amazing to watch the family grow.

Reunions

Both high-school and college reunions, as well as classic family reunions,
are perfect for photo slide shows -- go back in time and relive the
care-free times in life.

Birthdays

You're how old? That could mean a lot of pictures. A DVD slide show makes
a uniquely personal gift and helps preserve old photos.
