images - prints, negatives and slides. We provide one

photos and slide transperancies. We scan 35mm slides (to include
any slides in 2x2 mounts), 120/220 film, 4x5 film as well as
stereo slides to high quality digital images. Our Nikon digital
scanning systems and high end Epson scanners provide you with
long lasting digital image files of your photographic images.
Using Silverfast 8 Scanning software we are able to provide high
quality scans.
ALL our work in done in-house - nothing is shipped to other locations for processing.
We perform all our services in our local shop.
We scan 35mm negatives, 35mm slides or other slides in 2x2 mounts,
stereo slides, disk film, 120/220 film and 4x5 film.
Ask about larger negative scanning if you have a requirement.
We additionally scan color and B&W photograph prints up to
12.5.x17.5 in size. When you have larger photos, we can scan
portions of the photos and stitch (photomerge) the photos into
one single digital image using Photoshop Photomerge.
One example is taking a poster size photo to create on simple
image rather than 4-6 images of the various portions of the
poster size print.

fade or mold over time. Preserve your photos safely to share
with your family and friends. Make copies of your favorite
slides or color negatives for special occasions or gifts.

preserve your old photos (slides,
negatives and/or prints.

later copy and share digital images with friends and family.
Scanning slides to digital with our Nikon and Epson equipments
helps bring life back to old faded slides by bringing out the
colors and eliminating most scratches that we find on old slides
(see
samples). We scan
color negatives with the same Nikon and Epson equipment,
providing high quality digital images as you can see in some of
the gallery photos.
When you transfer slides to digital,
preserve you old memories and can easily share your digital
images with friends and family. We use Silverfast scanning
software to provide the highest quality scans of your prints,
negatives and slides.
With
digital imaging, just as with slide scanning, you can even
preserve your 35mm color negatives (and B&W negatives) and enjoy
the advantages of digital scanning as well as have digital
images to print or email to friends and relatives. When
archiving negatives to digital images, you have saved the images
for an indefinite period of time without worrying about fading,
scratches, etc. In many cases, when scanning your old negatives
you will be benefit from the photo enhancement that occurs to
many photos that are faded and you may have taken for lost
images.
Digital scanning converts
your 35mm slides, 120 format film, 4x5 or othr film format
(including stereo slides) to digital format in JPG or TIFF
format, allowing you to explore new ways to enjoy and share your
photo memories. After scanning your slides, negative and/or
prints, you can have DVD Slide Shows made from your converted
digital images, making a great gift to give to your family
members. Additionally you can easily make digital photo albums
for family and friends. Before making a DVD Slides Show, you
must have the slides, negative and/or photos scanned to create
the digital image source files for the DVD Slide Show.
Having slides shows made for Facebook, Google +. or Youtube
posting is a great way to share with yout family and friends.
To help provide you the highest quality and service, our
specialties are scanning still images such as slides in 2x2

ICE™ Image Correction
in addition to it own propriatori iSRD;
(Infrared Smart Removal of Defects) which provides better
scratch and dust removal with out affecting the actual image.
This Enhancement system reduces the effect of dust and scratches

With ourslide scanning
services and film scanning process, we convert your slides to
digital images for a longer image life.
We

Types of Scanning Services (Photo
digitizing)
we provide:
From
your scanned slides, negative, and prints we can also produce high
quality DVD Slide Shows. These can be from a simple looping show of
slides or a multi-chapter slide show - allowing you to have
individual slide shows for different groups of slides. See our
Pricing/Order form for the various options. We use Apple Final
Cut Studio 2 and Adobe After Affect CS6 and Adobe Premier Pro CS6 to
provide you the best image and slide show quality.
Our
prices are very simple. When you select the service you wish, we
have no extra add-on items to complete your order. You do not pay
extra for CD's or DVD's or for special attention. Think about it.
you pay for the slide conversion, you must store it on something -
be it a CD or DVD. For this reason the media is included in the
price of the scan. Additional we provide Archival Quality
storage media for a small additional fee (you still get the DVD
included in the original price).
A note about media.
When saving your images to a CD or DVD, your are only selecting a
storage media (DVD holds about 7 CD's worth). This is not a DVD that
you would play on your TV DVD player, as that unit does not normally
read a data disk. TV DVD's use a different format, which is why you
get a DVD Slide Show made from your data images. An exception to
this will be the new Blu-Ray DVD players that are able to typically
read data images from a disk. Since the images are large, we
can also make a folder will smaller versions of the images for you
TV when viewing from you DVD player.
DID YOU KNOW?:
As noted above, many of the new DVD players with the
"upscalling" feature will read Data DVD's and Data CD's, and display
they images on a new HD TV. Most Blue Ray DVD players will display
the images on data disk as well. NOTE: This is NOT the same as a DVD
Slide Show - as these are like DVD Movies.
Check your
individual DVD Player manufactures owners manual for actual
capabilities of your DVD player. The same applies for
the data Blu-Ray disk we provide.
Unsure about what
you are ordering?
Try our
sampler packages
for slides or prints - only $40.- which
includes the media and shipping. You will actually receive the
actual image quality (2000 ppi) and not a file reduced in size for
email, etc. - just as you would receive the final product.
About our pricing
- you will typically find three price ranges - we are mid-tier in
the pricing that you will typically find. What is the
difference? Sites that charge considerably less typically
provide only 300-600ppi in their scans - a considerable difference
from the 2000-4000 ppi shops such as ours. Additionally, they are
very automated, may ship things offshore, and do not offer the one
on one semi-custom service that a shop such as ours provides.
Working as a semi-custom shop, we strive to provide the greatest
value possible, along with quality service. You will notice a
considerable quality difference in what we provide, versus the chain
or mass market scanning services. What you will receive are high
resolution quality scans, that have had individual attention, versus
scan just made by a machine at low resolution.
We also
provide custom services to meet your specialized needs.
Today's FAD
to follow the fad from many other slide scanning firms)
We DO NOT ship your pictures to another firm or country. We do ALL our work in house
and we strive on providing you the best service that would not be possible if your photos were shipped offshore or another location to
process.
We are proud of our customer service and quality of work.
