Tony.T Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Just working on a quote, need some input please as it may be price sensitive and I want the job! 277 mounted slides, scan and correct ( a quick check reveals some are dark, some faded, so all will have to go thru photoshop for corrections) we need to produce a Video DVD slideshow with a music background ( I have a collection of copyright free cd's for this) as well as a disc with the corrected scans in case prints are needed. What would you charge ? If you would rather, please em or pm me instead of posting on here. Your input will be of great help! Thanks in advance.

NeilT Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would say that Tony is looking for an indication on what he should charge for the job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpcrichard Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 here in NZ i did 450 slides at $0.70 each and the slide show with music done with Pro Gold at $20.00 and $12.00 for each copy i think it was 6 copies You need to give a good indication of price before you start the slides were given minor corrections and this was told at the start. all scanned on the epson 4990v at 1800dpi 20 at a time.

Tony.T Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks Guys- In that case I'm right on the button at £182.50 for the whole job of 277 slides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 We use AFX for large orders like this and I think they charge 85p a slide to DVD, 75p if over a 1000. What are you scanning them with? Opening each one in Photoshop is going to take a while, so I think your price is more than reasonable.

Tony.T Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I use a sony scanner (uys-100?) (I'm at home so can't see it to tell you the exact model) In reality with practise and experience the time taken is not unreasonable and we always do these jobs as a fill in rather than blitz it . Total time for the scanning etc, about 3 hours spread over a week and then a couple of hours creating and burning the DVD Anyhow job done and dusted- paid for, so now I know that our prices are OK. Thanks for the input- always appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
