MEDIA TRANSFER SERVICES
ALL TRANSFERS ARE NOT EQUAL!
​
Your media should be captured or scanned at resolutions equal or slightly higher than its original specs. While it can be overkill to transfer at resolutions far exceeding the original quality, you want to be sure the transferred file or disc is not lower in quality. Digital does not automatically make it good quality.
The transfer method used and the specs of the final file or disc make a big difference in your final quality. Be sure you are not just transferring but preserving and futureproofing your precious memories.
Your memories should not just be transferred but archived
