Digitisation

Film and Slide Scanning

Our team individually scans your film and slides on professional quality equipment by Epson and Canon, capturing exceptional detail and colour depth. We can then colour correct and retouch your images to remove any dust and scratches before providing them to you as a high-resolution digital download. We can also print your digitised image on a range of archival papers and deliver a physical copy.

Colour Correction: Slides and negatives deteriorate over time; We apply automatic exposure and colour correction to digitised slides and negatives; however, digitised images may require additional editing to match original colours. Dirty Slides: We use compressed air to clean slides before digitisation; this won't remove stubborn dust, dirt or mould. Custom Documentation: Custom documentation and renaming to meet provided specifications starts at $40. Indicatively, this calculates to ~$3.00/object on larger projects. Fragile Objects: We accomodate extra time to work with fragile objects to reduce the chance of damage. In some instances, we need to build custom stands or holders to digitise and store these objects.

Turnaround Time

Typical turnaround on film and slide scanning projects is 5-15 working days.
