Photo CDs from Digital Files
This is the safest way to archive your digital files! Years of memories can be lost if your computer crashes. We know two professionals who accidentally dragged their archive icons from their desktops into the recycle bin and emptied the trash! Luckily, six years of work was not lost because the images where also saved to CD. It's inexpensive, reliable and we can save several memory cards to one CD (up to 700 MB per CD).

Scanning and Archiving
Your negatives, slides and old photos can also be saved digitally, opening a world of opportunity for you to reprint, restore, and share you're old photos! Turn that box full of unrecognizable negatives into a digital archive you can view, organize and relive on your computer! There are several ways for our certified technicians to archive your collection of prints and negatives. One of our experts can explain the differences and help you choose what's right for your needs.

Photo Restoration
Sarber's photo restoration experts have helped hundreds of our customers save fragile old photos from fading away or falling apart. Your precious original image is scanned or re-photographed, then damage, fading and flaws are retouched to return the image to its original condition. The restored image is then printed and archived to CD so you can share it or reorder more prints. Your original image is also returned unharmed.

From removing that annoying orange date from the corner of a picture, to combining images, adding or removing people, you name it, we've done it all.

Print Sizes
Here is a list of our standard print sizes. If you need a special, non-standard size, please call us; we'll do all we can to help you get just what you need.
Wallet size prints: 2.5 x 3.5 in.
Reprints: 3.5 x 5 in. or 4 x 6 in.
Proof Prints: 5 x 7 in., special low price at time of developing only. See below for enlargements
*A note about digital camera prints: Digital camera image sensors don't exactly match standard reprint sizes. A full frame print, with no image cropping, from most digital cameras is 4 x 5.5 inches. Standard size reprints that fit most frames and photo albums are 4x6 inches. This slight difference means that when you order 4x6 prints a very small part of the image is cropped from the top and bottom (or from the sides in vertical images). We use the terms "fit" to fit the whole image on a 4x6 print (leaving a white space on the sides), or "fill" to fill the print size even if there's a little cropping.
Wallet size prints: 2.5 x 3.5 in.
Reprints: 3.5 x 5 in. or 4 x 6 in.
Proof Prints: 5 x 7 in., special low price at time of developing only.
Panoramic prints: 4 x 12 in.

Home Movies to Video or TV:
Those old home movies your Dad shot are a treasure to be shared, but that old film gets brittle and breaks when you put it through a projector; that's if your movie projector still works. Don't worry about fixing the old broken projector, transfer your home movies to DVD and view them on your TV! Your originals are cleaned, lubricated, spliced together and returned to you in better condition than when received, and you can enjoy the memories without fussing with an old projector.
Video Conversion and Transfer: Old video tapes in any format, and even videos in international formats, can be transferred to DVD or video. Convert your video camera tapes to DVD for easier viewing and safer storing.
Custom Black & White Printing: Nothing quite compares to a traditional, hand-printed black and white print. Sarber's partnership with other custom labs allows us to offer you a full range of black and white services from developing and contact sheets to custom gallery quality prints.
Slide Processing: Sarber's Cameras is affiliated with the best transparency lab in the Bay Area to provide you with a full range of slide services including duplicate slides and push/pull processing.
