Photo Preservation
We are here to help you preserve your family memories so that they remain for future generations. Nothing is more precious than memories of your vacations, parties, anniversaries, birthday parties, weddings, friends and family, that are captured in your photographs and slides. Almost every one of us has shoe boxes full of photographs and slide carousels stashed away in our closets. With time they begin to fade and deteriorate, no matter how you store your pictures. Wouldn't it be great if you could stop time and keep the photographs from vanishing?
Photo archiving is the process of taking the actual Slide, Negative, or Print and scanning it to make it a digital file. Once it is in a digital format you can store, share, or print it.
FoxTale Edit will transform your photos into digitized images so that you can stop the deterioration of your memories, preserving them forever. We also offer digital enhancements to help make your pictures look like new. So if you have a photo with a rip or the color has badly faded, we can in most cases repair it.
Simply send your traditional photos to FoxTale Edit and they will be carefully scanned, digitized, and returned to you in great condition.

All photos have a limited life span, even when stored in the best photo albums. With luck, this life could be as long as fifty years for a color photo - quite likely, it will be much shorter. The reason for this is that the dyes used to put the colors in the photos are chemically sensitive, and they degrade over time. This degradation is caused by many factors; main contributors include exposure to acidic compounds released from adhesives, plastics and papers used in photo albums, as well as exposure to atmospheric pollutants, light and heat.
Another major factor in the life span of your photos is the processing. Poor quality processing can doom your photos no matter how well you store them, either through the use of cheap photo paper or chemicals, inadequate fixing or stopping, or poor drying. Choose a reputable photo lab, and remember that the cheapest (or quickest!) may not be the best. "Archival quality" photo processing is becoming more widely available, but this is an expensive option.
Black and white photos using silver chemistry are chemically much more stable than color photos; this is why you can see very old B&W photos. It is unlikely that today's color photos will last 150 years into the future.
