General
photo safety/organizing questions:
How
do I organize years and years worth of photos?
While we
can’t give you a quick answer on exactly how to organize years
and years’ worth of photos, we can tell you how NOT to organize
years and years worth of photos. Whatever you do, don’t start
pulling out everything at once. The only thing more depressing than an
out-of-control photo collection is an out-of-control photo collection
that’s spread out all over your kitchen table when it’s
time to eat dinner!
Even though we don’t have an instant answer on how to organize
decades’ worth of photographs, we definitely do have an answer
for you.
We have spent the past two years outlining a proven step-by-step plan
that can help you conquer your piles of photographs--once and for all!
With our e-book, "Save Your
Photos and Your Sanity" you’ll be able to uncover your own
unique needs and organizing style so that you’ll be able to
easily arrange your photographs in the way that works for you.
Is
it safe to store my photos in their original developing envelopes?
Surprisingly,
the answer is no! Standard film developing envelopes contain acid and
can eventually cause your photographs to discolor, fade and become
brittle!
We know what you’re thinking and we agree . . .
Talk about unfairness! Who would ever imagine that your photos would
not be safe in the very envelopes they come in? We know this is hard to
believe, so if you’d like to see this for yourself, click here
for an example of the damage caused simply by storing photos in a standard
film developing envelope.
By the way, if you’re looking for a safe and convenient
alternative, then you’ll want to check out Photo Pockets.
I
have some printed photos and some digital photos of the same events.
Should I order all the prints so that I have all the different photos
in one place?
If the
digital images are high quality, really tell the story of the event,
and they hold meaning for you, then we would recommend that you order
prints and keep them all together. This is especially important,
because if anything happened to your hard drive, you could lose all
your digital images!
Questions
about photo organizing supplies
What
are the dimensions of Photo Pockets™ and how many photos fit in
each photo envelope?
The
dimensions of both the Photo Pockets™ envelope and the Negative
Pockets™ is: 4 3/8" x 6 3/8".
Each envelope is designed to hold 12 - 15 photos. If you've got
hundreds of prints to organize, you may question the reasoning for
this. As the saying goes, "there's a method to our madness." Our
primary goal is to help you simply and safely organize your photographs
-- and record the memories that go along with those photographs. This
is best accomplished by breaking the photos into smaller groups.
Therefore, the Photo Pockets™ are intended to hold photographs
from one event, rather than from an entire roll of film.
Also, we want to help you pare down your photographs, so that you keep
only those photos that best capture the memories and emotions of the
event. We encourage you to immediately edit your photographs and get
rid of any pictures that are dark, blurry, or otherwise unattractive.
Your
system seems perfect, except that it doesn't seem to accommodate
non-4x6 sizes (panorama, 5x7, etc.) Are there options that cover
these sizes?
At
this time, our system is available only in the 4x6 format.
Although we've had a few requests for the larger sizes over the past
few years, there has not been enough interest to merit the large
expenditure required to manufacture the alternate sizes of Photo
Pockets and Negative Pockets.
You
may be interested in items that would store memorabilia and oversized
photographs. Visit www.organizedphotos.com/OPfaves.html
for a collection of resources that we have gathered for you.
How
many photos fit into your Color 'n Color photo box?
The Color
'n Color photo box can hold about 1000 individual photographs. If you
are storing your photos in Photo Pockets™ envelopes, you can
expect to fit between 75 and 100 full envelopes into your Color 'n
Color photo box depending, of course, how many photos you have within
each envelope.
How
many negatives fit in a Negatives Pocket™?
You can
put several negative strips into one Negative Pockets™ envelope.
You may have to trim your negatives to fit into the envelope depending
on how your developer packages them. If you do have to trim them, do
not make them smaller than 3 frames so that you won’t have
trouble with ordering reprints.
Can
I order Photo Pockets and photo boxes separately or are they only
available in the full organizing package?
Our goal
is to help you be successful, which means that you need to get the
supplies that are right for you.
Most people love the convenience of The
JUMPSTART Photo Organizing Kit or the JUMPSTART PLUS, because it includes
everything they need to easily and safely organize their photographs.
(And we’ve greatly discounted the price, so it’s the most
affordable way to go.)
However, you can certainly order the supplies individually if that
works best for you. Click here
