Gold Slide & Negative Scan Tour: Unsharp Mask

 

Gold slide and negative scanning also includes Sharpening of your images to help bring out the subtle details creating crisp digital pictures. Read on to learn more. This concludes the Gold Scanning tour.

Sharpening is self explanatory. After scanning we sharpen your images using Photoshop's Unsharp Mask Filter. This helps bring out subtle details and will make your scanned images crisper. Sharpening is included with all Gold scans. Below is a before and after example of our sharpening process.

File Formats:
After scanning your images are saved to JPEG or TIFF format. We don't charge more for one or the other. The choice is up to you. To learn more about JPEG and TIFF files click here.

Media Options:
We then save your image files to high quality media. We use Mitsui Gold Archival Quality CD-R and Taiyo Yuden Data DVDs to store your new digital images. To learn more about these formats click here.

How will my disks be organized?
That's up to you. We can organize your disks however you see fit. If you wish to organize your slides and negatives into groups that correspond to year, or event, or anything else, we'll be sure to organize your disks accordingly. Typically people with large orders have their disks organized into groups. Each group will have it's own folder on your completed disks. To learn more about how our disks are organized click here.
