Photo & Film Digitizing

Slide Scanning

We specialize in scanning medium to large quantities of 35mm slides, usually 100 up to 5000 with quantity discounts.  Most clients find that 2500 dpi jpegs are best suited for their purposes but higher resolutions and tiff files are available.

Photo Scanning

Professional scanners are used for photos from wallet-sized to 8x10 at. 600-800 ppi  Larger or smaller prints require special handling with appropriate changes to resolution.  

Photo Restoration for Damaged Images

A higher resolution scan is used here before the digital processes that correct damaged areas or correct color.  The finished file is written to a USB drive that can be used by a lab to make prints.

How Our Process Works

All our work is done locally in a home studio so your originals are never sent out for processing. Compressed air is used to remove dust and surface debris before scanning and dust-free cotton gloves are worn when handling unmounted film and prints.  Your new files will be customed named and the images sequentially numbered for easy retrieval. 

Pricing and Turnaround Time

Drop off and pick up are easy and small to medium orders usually only take a few days to complete.  

The price for scanning 35mm film ranges from $2 to $.99 each depending on quantity.  Larger format scan prices on request.  

Photograph scanning is $2.00 each unless all prints are the same size.  

The scanning fee for restoration is $20 plus an hourly fee based on the desired results.  You will receive a free estimate before work begins.
