Create an electronic photo album of your memories
B&L Photo Lab will turn slides, negatives, transparencies, photographs, artwork or flatwork into digital files. Instead of hauling out the slide projector, thumbing through stacks of old prints or holding negatives up to a light, you can see your memories as an electronic photo album.
B&L Photo works with you to produce an electronic photo album of your memories. Your album can be made of slides or prints or documents or any combination. You may submit items of any size or format. You can present B&L Photo with any combination of slides, photos, negatives, paintings, artwork, flatwork and documents of any size.
Your slides can be mounted or not. Your negatives can be in rolls, strips or cut individually. Photos can be loose, mounted, in frames or in albums. B&L Photo will put your items on electronic media in a sequence determined by you. Photos can be put into separate folders with custom names. B&L Photo uses four different professional scanners to convert all manner of transparencies and negatives into digital files.
All photos, documents, paintings, art work and flat work are photographed with a 65 megapixel digital camera with Carl Zeiss lenses. At B&L Photo you talk to the people who do your work. All work is done in our store by Bob or Lauren, the owners of B&L Photo Lab, who have a combined experience in photography of over 90 years.

If all you look at our prices, B&L Photo may seem higher. But if you look at both prices and services, you will see that B&L Photo far outshines its competitors. If your slides are like most people’s slides, and range from under-exposed to over-exposed, are dusty or dirty, and have begun to fade, B&L Photo will give you the best result. In addition, if you wish to have a combination of slides, negatives, photos, documents, etc. converted to digital files, B&L Photo can handle all your need under one roof.
Here is the price schedule for converting materials into digital files:
These prices include scanning the original, the creation of a J-PEG file and placing the file on electronic media. These prices include correcting the digital files for color, density and contrast.
We also try our best to bring back to a normal appearance over-exposed, under-exposed and faded images. The files are placed onto digital media supplied by B&L Photo Lab at an additional cost or placed onto digital media supplied by the customer at no additional cost.
