You don't want
to wait until it's too late and find out that your precious memories
have faded away, do you? If you value your images and want to preserve
them the best option you have is film scanning. High-resolution scans
are a great way to archive and preserve your history, because unlike
film, digital files do not fade or colour shift on their own. Files can
be copied in a few mouse clicks and storage media is fairly inexpensive.
This means copies can be easily made and stored in multiple locations.
Simple storage is not the only benefit of having your film scanned,
there are many advantages to bringing your film into the digital age.
Here are only a few reasons why you should digitise your
film:
- Film fades over time,
digital files do not. Preservation is the number one reason people
digitise.
- To view and share your
images on the web.
- To revive faded colours.
Colours can be restored once an image is digital.
- Film attracts dust &
airborne particles. These can be permanently removed during
scanning.
- Film can appear very
"grainy," but this can be smoothed out when digitised.
- To preserve and archive
your family history for later generations, some images are
irreplaceable.
- Digital images can be
copied over and over at a very low cost, film duplication is
expensive.
- You are more likely to
view your images on your computer or TV than set up the slide
projector.
- To give your collection of
images as a gift.
- Images can be sorted and
labelled very easily on your computer.
- You can email digital
pictures to people.
- You can make several
copies, one for storing in another location such as a safety deposit
box.
- Save space! DVD's and CD's
are much smaller than carousels of slides or VHS tapes.
- Prints can be made from
digital files and they will probably look better than the originals!
- Digitise for PowerPoint
presentations.
 
Once your slides and film have
been scanned it can be restored to its original condition, and it can
even be improved. In most cases, colours can be brought back to life and
fading restored. We do basic colour corrections and fading restoration
on all our scans free of charge. This is a starting point, but for most
people further adjustments are not required. The great thing about
digital images is that you can do whatever you wish; further colour
adjustments and even advanced retouching. The possibilities are endless!
Our Process
All our scans are done
individually by hand to ensure the highest level of quality
possible. Materials are evaluated pre and post scan and adjustments are
made if needed. Your materials are always handled professionally and
with care, we know they are priceless to you.
We use
professional studio scanners with built in Digital Ice Technology.
