Bronze slide and negative scanning is an inexpensive way to get RAW image data perfect for editing and optimizing yourself. We do not perform any optimization, color correction, or cropping and rotating with Bronze scans. Bronze scans are meant for people who wish to edit their images themselves. Bronze scans with our software offerings make a great combination.
Silver slide and negative scanning is a cost effective way for people to digitize their slide and negative collection but do not wish to be part of the optimization process themselves. If you're on a budget or simply want to preserve the family photo collection then Silver processing is for you. Silver scans include color correction, dust and scratch removal, and optimization to provide you with print and video ready images.
Gold slide and negative scanning is for people who want the best possible results from their scans. Gold processing includes many time consuming features and manual optimizations that produce blemish free, color rich digital photos. Gold processing is more costly because of the time put into each scan. Gold scans produce the finest digital image short of a full blown photo restoration or retouching job. If you need more then go with Gold scanning.
Pro slide and negative Scanning is designed for the professional in need of high res scans without drum scan prices. Whether you're a photographer in need of high bit scans or a business who needs images for pre-press work we've got you covered. With Pro scans you get your choice of color space, your choice of bit depth, and access to other features like cloning & healing, grain reduction, and sharpening that enhance your digital workflow.

What about Resolution or DPI?

You get to choose your resolution. If you want to create 11x14 prints from you new digital images then go with 4000 DPI scans. If you want to simply preserve the family slide collection then keep costs down by ordering 2000 DPI scans. Our service offers three resolutions 2000 DPI, 3000 DPI, and 4000 DPI for all film scans. We also offer print scanning services. Please refer to the links below for help with understanding and determining your resolution needs.
