How to send your images

Sending Videotapes:

  • Put your name and unique ID number (eg tape 1, tape 2, tape 3, etc) on the label of each video.

    If you are having editing or postproduction:

    In order to customize your DVDs we need the exact time of events (hh:mm:ss) that you would like edited or some other clear indication of what you would like edited or customized. Please contact us to discuss your editing needs before sending your videotape.

Sending Photos and Documents:

  • Put your name and a unique ID number (eg “photo 1”,“photo 2”, “photo 3”, etc) on the back of each of your photos and documents (in pencil or with a post-it note). If you would like your photos or documents scanned in a particular order (eg for a Photo Slides Show on DVD) please ensure the numbers on the back of your photos and documents are in the sequence you wish them to be scanned and presented. (eg photo 1 is scanned first. Photo 2 is scanned second.)
  • Please do not use pen on the back of you photos or documents as this can damage your photo or document.
  • To avoid damage to your original photos and documents, slip cardboard or foam core board in the envelope that you are sending them in. Write on the outside of the envelope “Fragile” or “Photos – do not bend”. Australia post also sells ‘photo envelopes’ that are specially constructed to avoid damage to photographs when mailed. Better Pictures will send an email or call you to confirming the arrival of your photos.

Please send your original photos and documents if possible. Original photos and documents provide more information than copies and poor quality scans.


Sending Slides:

  • Remove slides from trays or carousels.
  • Number each slide in the upper right hand corner of each slide in the order you would like them scanned to cd or presented in a DVD slide show movie. (If slides not numbered they will be scanned in a random sequence.)
  • Bundle and wrap slides in paper bound by rubber bands in both directions.
