Negative Scanning - How It Works:
35mm negatives are considered standard.
All other sizes are considered non-standard and additional charges apply. Negatives are scanned with an air cleaning process and in rare instances we may use an anti-static cleaning cloth to remove finger prints. Lint, dust and scratches are common on sleeved negatives and unless they can be removed with the air cleaning process we do not remove these imperfections as part of the capture process. 35mm negative scans are approximately 4496×3000 pixels in size, which can render print sizes between 12x18 and 16x24. Upgrade options with higher resolution scans are available upon request.
Bring them to us in the order you'd like them scanned with proper notes. We do not charge extra for this service. If you have sleeved negatives, we will scan the entire strip unless you mark frames to skip. Do not mark the sleeve - use a removable postit flag to indicate which frames to skip. Each frame is considered to be one scan. Never adhere anything directly to the negative, on either side, as the adhesive will show in the scan. A good rule: if you bring in a physical mess, you will get back a digital mess. Organizing your originals before drop-off will produce a better outcome.
We check all negatives for the proper orientation and emulsion before scanning, so you do not need to worry about this in the preparation stage.
