Our Negative Scanning Process

slidescanningprocess

Converting negatives to digital format requires specialized equipment along with a trained eye and skilled hand. Our experienced scan technicians treat all of our clients negatives with the utmost care and precision. Each exposure is cleaned with compressed air and a lint free cloth prior to being scanned on our state-of-the-art negative scanning equipment.

All of our negative scanners are equipped with Digital ICE technology to ensure the highest quality images are obtained from your scanned negatives. Digital ICE restores and corrects the color, contrast & exposure of each of your captured moments to give them a new life. It also removes dust particles and minor scratches during the digitization process.

After we convert your negatives to digital, our quality control team meticulously crops, de-skews and re-orientates each image to further ensure a beautiful and crisp final image. One last check by the human eye and your new digital images are ready to be put onto your deliverable of choice (CD/DVD, flash drive, online download).

Negative Scanning Resolution

An advantage to using our negative scanning service is the resolution capabilities we offer. Resolution is measured in Dots Per Inch (DPI) and refers to the amount of detail a digital image contains. The higher the resolution a negative is scanned at, the more flexibility you will have down the road. Below is a description of each option as it relates to 35mm negative scanning (most common).
