To meet the needs of average consumers, DpsDave uses JPEG files with slight compression.
This is the universally accepted file type specially designed for images, and is compatible with all computers, and works with all photo viewing and editing programs.
Below is the table of common file types that are associated with image files.
| FIle Type | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| RAW | This is an image class, not a file type. it refers to files that have all the original image data. The most popular file types in this class are TIFF and DNG | |
| TIFF | Stands for Tagged Image files. No compression, no loss of fidelity. These are big files, used by professionals, and this is a rather old files type. It’s actually intended for raster (Thanks Galen!) files. | Use only if you have special needs. |
| DNG | Stands For Digital Negative Graphics and based on the TIFF format, a DNG file contains the data (raw images data and metadata) needed to render an image without needing additional knowledge of the characteristics of the camera | Use only if you have special needs. |
| PNG | Stands for Portable Network Graphics, this is a very old standard. It uses compression and had color depth greater than human perception. However, file size and image quality are inferior to JPEG | Do not use. |
| GIF | Stands for Graphics Interchange Format, this is a very old Standard. It is limited to 256 colors. | Do not use |
| BMP | Stands for Device Independent Bitmap, this type has adequate color depth and resolution for images, but is inferior to the RAW class of the types while file size is similar to the RAW file types. | Not intended for photographers |
| JPEG | Is an acronym for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, who invented this format. Introduced in 1992, this standard is continuously updated, with the latest revision published in 2008. It uses compression with good image characteristics. | Use this with 80% compression |
I stayed with my grandparents over the summer in Oregon and helped my grandmother clean the attic. We found old 35mm Kodachrome slides that were taken decades ago. I asked Granny if she wouldn’t mind if borrowed the slides and see if I can get them digitized. I told her about a digital slide scanning service that was over at Corvallis. Shortly after I phoned DPSDave and asked if they could do some fade restoration. Dave said they’ve been doing photo scanning for years now and also explained about the unique Image Optimization software they use. There were about 2 dozen slides that I sent them and I honestly didn’t expect them to finish the slide scanning service with photo restoration so soon. Just 2 weeks later, we got the digital prints and we played them on the TV and they looked awesome! You have to try it to believe it. Dave did an amazing job with the photo slide scanning and we are very impressed with their personalized service.
My husband and I wanted to immortalize our old photos from our wedding 45 years ago through a digital picture scanning service. We heard about DPSDave from my sister who recently tried their service. I called Dave and asked if it was possible to also restore some old photos. He thoroughly explained some photo restrictions and then we sent him our stuff. When we got our digital photos on a DVD, I can definitely say for myself that DPSDave photo scanning service is top notch.
I called Dave on Wednesday to get some photo scanning done ASAP and he was very accommodating considering that I need my order rushed for a wedding anniversary celebration. The photos were very old considering they were my parents’ old photos from their wedding way back a long time ago. I packed it according to Dave’s instructions and he has a very helpful site for packing directions which I appreciated a lot. His service is priced reasonably (the cheapest I actually found online) given the high quality of digital prints we got from really old photographs. He must have done some photo fade restoration, too. My parents were overjoyed when they saw the slideshow I created for them using the digital photos I got from Dave! The photos were really great even when viewed on a huge TV. I am really glad I found DPSDave because his excellent printed photo scanning can’t be beat. They offer expedited service, too! Definitely recommending DPSDave for any picture and photo scanning service!
My mom loves dogs and she has this one favorite dog she had when she was just a kid. She’s got an old printed photo with the dog that she’s kept all these years which I know it meant a lot to her. I wanted to surprise her on her birthday so I searched online for a high quality photo scanning service. I found DPSDave and they had a photo of a dog on their website! I called them and spoke with Dave then found out it’s his dog on the DpsDave.com website. He clearly loves his dog and I knew right then I found the perfect photo scanning service. I sent him the printed photo and had it scanned with the highest quality for printing. I believe it’s called the Presentation Level. I got back a digital copy and had it printed and framed as a gift for my mom. She is ecstatic and I have Dave to thank for it. Made the excellent choice and got superb photo scanning service at a super reasonable price!
