Scanning Services

details

scanning

• Negatives (35mm, 645, 6x6, 6x7, or 6x9), slides (35mm), and prints up to 8x10 are scanned and delivered via email.
• Scanned image sizes will vary due to differences in the size of the original. All media is scanned at 3200ppi.
• Negatives should not be sent attached to crop cards. Scans are made from un-carded negatives only. If negatives arrived carded, they will be un-carded prior to scanning (additional charges apply). This does not apply to 35mm transparencies/slides. Please leave those in their original mounts.
• Negatives and prints are carefully wiped with a dry anti-static cloth prior to scanning. No liquid cleaning chemistry will be used.
• Scanning fees include color and density correction, dust/scratch removal, & minor restoration. If original media is dirty or damaged, additional cleanup time may be necessary. (extra charges apply)

artwork

• We offer AI enhancement that can include facial recognition (greatly improves facial clarity and sharpness of features), general image sharpening, and noise reduction. Not every image is improved by these services, so your scan technician will evaluate each file at your request to determine the best outcome.
• Full restoration is available for original media that is heavily damaged, torn, or missing pieces of the image. (extra charges apply)

additional services

• Prints may be ordered at the time of scanning (see order form). If prints are ordered, your original media will be returned with the print order, saving you shipping costs.
