PHOTO COLLAGE & DECOUPAGE is the art of decorating objects with pictures, photos and printed designs. Once you add a a glasslike finish, like Mod Podge to cover, seal, and protect them, you will have a true keepsake. The term "Decoupage" comes from the old French word decouper, meaning "to cut out. Then there’s digital collage...my all time favorite. When I’m not gluing things to other things, I working on my Mac in Photoshop.. More to come....
DIGITAL PHOTO Do you need a little motivation to organize your photo memories into photo albums, photo montage, photo collage or scrapbooks? Maybe you just want to find time to burn your photos to a disk for safe keeping. To create a memorable moving record of your photographs and video clips can be a daunting task. Here's what you need to know and how much you can expect to pay to create a video pictorial of your family history. Some internet services claim that you can get a photo DVD production for $99. This is somewhat misleading as pricing for a slideshow piece is subjective.
A video production with music & simple transitions will generally bill out in the $250 / $350 range for approximately 30-50 photos. The difference in cost will be based on standard photos or photos submitted on disk as well as how the photos need to be adjusted for video presentation. The backgrounds will be black and the inserted text is white and is limited to the opening and ending screens. Additional charges will apply for additional photos, any photo enhancement that needs to be done, special effects, transitions and unique soundtracks. Be advised that at the lower price points, photos are usually inserted as submitted, meaning the photos are not cropped or adjusted for quality.
