Our Studios have recently had a £50,000 makeover and now comes equipped with the the amazing Noritsu LS1800 film scanner - widely acknowledged to be one of the best quality bits of scanning kit available.

The scanner produces high quality results in a fraction of the time than many others

• Individual negatives are  £1.50 each for 10+
• Only one neg to scan? - minimum charge is £5

Dust and Scratches

Digital Ice is used when scanning colour films. This removes all scratches, artifacts and dust. However, the Digital Ice system does not with Black and White Films. So some scratches and dust marks may remain on the image after scanning. 

Before scanning, we make sure that the equipment and film is as dust free as it can be, but inevitably, dust, scratches and other artifacts will be seen on the scans, especially at higher magnification.

Clients should be aware of this limitation as a condition of putting work in with us and should also be prepared to photoshop these Black and white scans as required.

Enhancements

No matter how many negatives you send us, each frame is individually assessed by an experienced technician and adjustments are made to optimise the resulting scan.

Manual Adjustment includes

• Exposure control
• Brightness and contrast
• Colour balance

Custom enhancements, such as cropping and zooming in are available on request.
