Products & Services
MotoPhoto® is “the place to go” to find everything that you need to create, preserve and share your memories. Visit one of our retail locations near you, where trained Imaging Consultants are ready to assist you with all of your imaging needs.Digital Image Processing: The prints we make from your memory card will look and feel just like those made from film – provided your camera is set to the appropriate settings. Refer to the camera’s manual and our resolution chart if you need some guidance. We can print your images from digital camera memory cards, CDs, or disks. One of the benefits that digital offers is that you can tell us exactly which images you want printed.
Photos On CD: Whether you use a film camera or a digital camera, every photo can (and should) be stored on a CD.
- CDs are inexpensive, durable and have enough memory to permanently store hundreds of images, which makes it easy to organize and archive your entire photo collection
- Photo CDs contain digitized images that can be shared through email and the internet
- Photo CDs are a permanent “negative” – memory cards can be erased and hard drives often crash
- CDs can be used as an image archive; copies can be made for family and stored in a safety deposit box for added security
