Scanning Services
We firmly believe that optical prints from negatives offer the best-quality photographic end product; however, we admit that there are circumstances in which an optical print is not ideal - for instance, e-mailing a photo to friends; some galleries are only accepting digital submissions; optical prints from slides are not available. It is therefore with great pleasure that we are now able to offer digital film scaning services that approach the quality of our optical prints.
Our film scanner works in a similar fashion to our print machines: A lamp illuminates the film, projecting an image through a lens; instead of photo paper, though, the image shines on a high-resolution digital sensor. Just like our printing process, color corrections specific to your images are made by a human operator, and multiple quality checks are performed before your files are burned to CD or DVD.
Once scanned, digital prints and enlargements can be made from any negative or slide film; see our Outlab Services page for digital print prices. Please reference the pricing and resolution charts below.
