Digitize your memories

Money Magazine sent about 40 prints and negatives to six popular services. Here's which did best at getting them onto your computer.

BritePix
BritePix
britepix.com

Cost structure:
Prints: 29 cents each at 300 dpi.
Negatives: 29 cents each at 1,500 dpi.
Minimum order? $50.

Turnaround time:
Promised seven business days for orders of less than 500 photos; actual turnaround was three business days.
Note: BritePix sends photos to Costa Rica.

Scan quality:
The scans looked sharp, and the free image correction masked any imperfections. Good contrast and color.

Bottom line:
Fastest turnaround and nice prints; but the $50 minimum means it's only a good deal if you send more than 180 images.

Grade: B
