SLIDE AND NEGATIVE SCANNING
Slides
35mm slide scanning is one of our specialties. We use Professional scanning equipment to ensure there’s no loss in quality during the scanning process. Slides can be very delicate and are prone to deterioration if not properly stored, consider giving us a call if you are unsure about the safety of your slides!
We clean, dust, and optimize every slide before going through the scanning process. Converting your 35mm Slides to a more modern digital format will ensure the safety of the slides and allow you to enjoy the photos once again.

Negatives
35mm negatives was an awesome and affordable format that allowed the first generation of photographers to mass produce their work for the first time. We use a Professional Flatbed Scanner to scan the negatives at their best possible quality and to maintain their original vintage look.
Medium format negatives could go up to 4″ x 5″ and everything 4″ x 5″ or above is a larger formatted negative. Your 4″ x 5″ large format negatives were the most commonly distributed slides, made popular by select camera models back in the 1930s-1950s. The bigger the image, the higher the quality at the time.

Medium and Large Format Negative Film
Formats And Resolutions Explained
200dpi Vs. 3000dpi Vs. 4000dpi:
4000dpi (dots per inch) scans produce much larger files but help ensure every detail in your slide is recorded in digital form. If you don’t mind giving up a bit of resolution, then 2000dpi scans would be a better choice, producing smaller files and they cost less to create.
JPEG Vs. TIFF Format:
TIFF files: PROS – Lossless true archival format. CONS – Large file size & and not as universally accepted.
JPEG file: PROS – Much smaller file size & universally accepted format. CONS – Lose Quality each time you save. Also can’t save at 48bit Color (Not great at true color reproduction during printing)
24bit Vs. 48bit Scan:
24bit and 48bit will look exactly the same on a computer monitor. However, if your goal is to print your slide or negative, then 48bit will give you a much better color space representation than 24bit.
