Slide & Negative Scanning
scan your slides and negatives
Slides were a very unique experience. Inviting the neighbours around to view images on a large projector screen from your holidays abroad was a hands down winner over the humble photograph album. But today, the projectors are all gone and the slides are sitting in boxes in draws or in the garage somewhere gathering dust. Never to be seen again.
But we can help. We have the ability to digitize all of those slides and make them useful again. You can now use your TV as your projector and show your holiday snaps to everyone! Not only you slides but also your negatives. Those stripes of small images, that you can't quite tell who is in the photo because the negatives have all look brownish and the colours reversed.
preparing your slides & Negatives
To prepare your negatives and slides for scanning please follow the guidelines below. If you have any questions or wish to discuss preparing your negatives and slides please give us a call. 022 63 73 533
Negatives and slides should not have any adhesives or tape on them.
Negatives are scanned in strips of 4, 5 or 6.
We do not offer selective scanning of negatives. We scan the whole strip.
Keep you negatives in their protective sleeves.
Negatives and slides should be wrapped plastic bags then in packed boxes with adequate padding for protection.
Negatives and slides should all be facing the same direction.
Slides should be stacked in groups of around 20.
If you require a certain sequence then please stack them in that order, front to back.
The scanning process
High Resolution scans of 35mm slides and negatives are scanned at 3600dpi to produce a high resolution image that can be printed out up to A4 size.
Standard 35mm negative and slide scans have software dust removal where possible. (Kodachrome slides are not able to have dust removal.)
All negatives, photos, slides etc. are wiped with a soft cloth before scanning.
Scans are made with auto colour correction settings.
Additional dust and blemish removal is available at additional cost.
All scans are available on USB stick, DVD or Online Archive. Or a combination of those.
All images are provided as .jpg file format. For easy use on any computer or phone and printing.
Full photo restoration services for colour correction, fading, blemishes etc. are available at PixelFIX Photo Restorations Services.
