In what forms do you offer still photo images, and how are they priced?

We offer still images as photos, professionally printed at 3x5, 4X6, or 5X7 inches in size, starting at $4.99. We also offer downloadable JPEG files 1382x960 pixels in size for just $1.97. Most of our images comply with a printing standard of 300 dpi at around 5x7 inches. Many also print well at up to 8X10 inches, and if you order a JPEG file, you may choose to print it on your own at that size. However, because the perceived quality of some of the images may vary at larger sizes, we do not offer 8x10 printed photos as one of our standard products.

To judge the subjective quality of any still image, click the "View full size" link below the image thumbnail. The "Full Size" images are presented on the website at 760x528 pixels. That is a lower resolution than the 1382x960 pixel images we deliver in fulfilling your order, but it can help you judge the resolution and quality. The subjective quality of archival footage can vary widely, so always choose carefully. If the quality of the still image does not meet your needs when you view it at "Full Size" on CriticalPast.com, do not expect the subjective quality of the photo to be markedly improved when delivered to you in full resolution form.


In what forms do you offer video clips, and how are they priced?

Our full resolution media is instantly transcoded, on demand, to fill your order in minutes. The formats we offer can be viewed at any time by selecting "Details/Buy" under any video clip player window.

For Consumers:
For just $2.97, we offer iPod / Mac clips as well as Microsoft Windows Media clips. These are available for download only. We do not offer DVDs. The iPod clips (file extension .m4v) can be loaded and played on an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. They can also be played on Apple/Mac computers, or on Windows computers that have Quicktime for Windows installed. Our Windows Media clips (file extension .wmv) can be played on a Windows PC, or added to any Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. They can also be played on Mac computers equipped with Windows Media Player for Mac.

11. You are right. You can view all photos and videos, but there is a charge

for a download.
