How do I know how long
my slideshow will be and how many songs I can use?
These times are
approximate, it depends on how many title pages, captions, etc. you
have in your slideshow, but on average it is 12 to 15 minutes per
100 photographs, which is 4 to 5 songs.
What size photographs
can I use?
Up to an 8x10.
What is photo
retouching?
We will digitally retouch
minor flaws on the scanned photo (not the original), for red eyes,
cropping, color enhancing, lighting, etc., to ensure the best
possible slideshow experience.
What about captions
and title pages?
Captions and title pages
are a way to let your audience understand your pictures (see "Funny
Pages" sample). Although captions are fun to use, limiting
them to select slides will make sure the focus is mainly on the
pictures.

Memories 2 Music wants to
ensure you are 100% satisfied with your slideshow and it is exactly
how you want it. After we have made a preliminary slideshow,
we will upload it to our website so that you can view it and provide
us with any feedback or changes you would like to make before your
order is finalized and burned to a DVD. We will supply you
with a link that will enable only you to view your slideshow (you
may also share this link with family and friends if you like, but
only those with the link are able to view it). This service is
only available to customers with high-speed broadband internet
connections (cable or DSL). At this time, we cannot offer this
service to customers with dial-up connections. If you have
dial-up connections, we will burn a DVD, mail it to you so you can
view it and call us with any changes.
What about music and
copyrights?
The music you select is
very important to set the mood of your slideshow. Using a
combination of sentimental and upbeat songs, you can bring to life
the wide variety of emotions in your pictures. We have
provided a section of song suggestions to help give you some ideas.
All of our music is obtained and used legally. Our DVD
slideshows are not intended for public presentation; they are
intended for private use only. You can send us a legally
purchased CD with the music you would like, or we can purchase the
song for you through a legitimate online provider.
Under the Fair Use
Provision of the music copyright laws, it is legal for us to use
your purchased music, or music that we purchase. As
long as the music has been legally purchased, royalty fees are not
applicable. Memories 2 Music does not use illegal music
download sites, we purchase music from legitimate online internet
sites. If you send us your own music, it must be on a legally
purchased CD, not your own compilation.
If you have any
questions that are not addressed here, please do not hesitate to
