Our service was created from the ground up with the idea that an expert would thoroughly review your photos and make any necessary corrections. We offer more than simply digital photo creation as part of our Negative scanning service. Additionally, each image needs to be repaired and corrected in some way because colour slides eventually get scratches and their colour fades with time unless you've kept them in archival-quality, subzero conditions. We typically make the following modifications to guarantee that your digital negative images look their best.
Cropping, erasing blemishes and dust, colour rectification, and eye-redness removal
Our experience scanning millions of negatives has shown that doing this nearly always yields excellent quality for just pennies per image. Some negatives may be so damaged they require our specialised photo restoration service, but that's relatively rare.
Our inadequate digitization efforts
Your weaknesses are undoubtedly some of your most valuable assets. Negatives are actually considerably more valuable than prints of the same image since they often provide much better scans. Some photographs may also be the only negatives that exist, which raises their value.
As a result, you assume that when you send your collection of negatives to a negative scanning service, it will be handled with care. Even identifying the correct side to scan, a process that necessitates incredibly sensitive handling, takes a trained touch. We never use an automatic rectification process on your negatives where a piece of software generates educated guesses about a group of your most important memories. But far too often, other services act in the same manner.
We are aware of the difficulties posed by scanning 35mm negatives and other unusual negative formats. We think that every single negative you send our way deserves to be examined frame by frame by a trained technician with a keen eye and superb hands and we believe that is the most efficient way to scan negatives.
