Prints, transparencies, and film of every size, scanned at high resolution and color-corrected to calibrated standards. From a single faded slide to an entire family or studio archive, handled with the same attention we give motion picture film.
Testing shows no measurable chromatic aberration, geometric distortion, or vignetting within the tolerances of our capture standard. The result is a highly faithful digital reproduction of the original, not an approximation of it.
Our cameras capture up to 400 megapixels, resolving color, texture, and fine detail right down to the film grain itself.
Every image is delivered as a full-resolution 16-bit TIFF, preserving the camera's available tonal and color information with minimal processing.
Photographic prints of every size, including curled, mounted, and fragile originals.
Mounted slides and medium and large-format transparencies, in mounts or sleeves.
35mm through large-format sheet film, strips or individual frames.
Archival TIFF masters plus JPEG copies for easy sharing, organized to match your originals.
A faithfully captured image begins with the light itself. We illuminate each original with fixtures rated above CRI 99. The Color Rendering Index measures how accurately a light reveals true color, on a scale where 100 is perfect.
That neutral, full-spectrum light is what lets color read true. We capture a calibration test image at the beginning of each capture sequence, giving every image that follows a known baseline.
Color fades unevenly, because the dye layers in slides, negatives, and prints break down at different rates as they age. We rebalance the individual color channels to recover a natural appearance as close as reasonably possible to the original. Spotting out dust and scratches, repairing tears, and rebuilding damaged areas is a separate restoration service we quote case by case.
Prints, slides, transparencies, and negatives, black-and-white or color, from 35mm up to large-format sheet film and oversized prints.
In most cases, yes. Color correction is part of every scan, and faded slides and color negatives can usually be brought back close to their original color. Send us a sample and we'll let you know what is possible.
No. Everything is cleaned and handled by hand, with nothing pulled through an automatic feeder, so fragile, curled, or mounted originals are protected. Your originals come back in the same condition they arrived.
We choose the resolution to suit each original’s size and detail rather than a single default, so nothing in the original is lost. We are glad to advise based on how you plan to use the images.
Archival TIFF masters plus JPEG copies for easy sharing, organized to match your originals.
Yes. From a single image to collections of many thousands, sorted and tracked so the files map back to your originals.
Basic cleaning is part of scanning. Spotting, tear repair, and deeper restoration are available as separate services, quoted by condition.
