DVD Slideshow
photos slides  dvdoutside
John's Darkroom can transform your photos and slides to a moving slideshow that you can play on your computer or TV. Along with the visual memories, your favorite songs can be played in the background as well as titles for the photos and various chapters.
A perfect gift for someone to cherish and a gift that will be remembered.

All work will be done on DVD-R disk unless otherwise  requested. The disk will be placed in a 14mm clear DVD case, similar to movie cases and not a slimline jewel case, with a cover insert with the title chosen by you.

The video DVD will be playable on your DVD player or PC computer. To check the compatibility of you DVD player please check this website here.
If you have any questions regarding the DVD slideshow services please contact me.

At this time I am not set-up for mail orders.

How to order
  • If you are bringing photos or slides for scanning, gather all your photos, slides, documents and your music. There is a charge of $0.75 per item. Please see scanning for details.
  • Arrange the material in groups, chapters, that you want them shown in; for example "Vacation to Jasper", "The New Baby", etc. Along with the chapters select the music that you have that most suits the theme of the chapters. Then mark on the back of you photos or documents the order you want them viewed in the slide show. Write a number on a post-it-note and attach it to the back of the photo or write the number lightly with a pencil, starting at 001, 002 etc.
  • Indicate on a separate sheet, the number of the photo and the short caption you would like on the photo (photo #005 - Jasper Park Lodge) and the music tracks you want. Then put everything for the chapter in an envelope and note on the envelope the name of the chapter, for example "Vacation to Jasper". Continue for the next chapters.
  • If you are including images on a DVD, please make sure the photos are scanned at a resolution of 300 DPI and saved as jpg files with file names as 001.jpg, 002.jpg etc. in the order you want them shown. Check each scanned image for colour and any damage as the images will be placed on the slide show as per the disk. Place each set of images in file folders named with your chapters, for example "Vacation to Jasper", "Wedding" etc.
