Negatives on strip/roll – 35mm (24×36mm) and semi-35mm (18x24mm)

We can scan negative strips (about 5 or 6 negatives on a strip) and negatives on a roll. We can even scan negatives that have been cut from a strip or roll. All photos will be corrected for colour, light, dust and scratches. The infra red correction of dust and scratches doesn’t work as well with black and white photos as it does with colour photos. Dust will always be removed by fine brushes.

The negatives are converted to digital (positive) photos. You can give every series of negatives a title and we will use this for the folders. We scan to JPEG format and all pictures are given a serial number as a filename.

File formats

We can supply just about all common formats. We normally use JPEG format. This gives a very good quality while the files don’t get too large. We can also provide the photos in an uncompressed file. TIFF is a common format for this. This format is often used in professional printing. However, this format creates much larger files: with a small image slide scan at 4000 DPI, a TIFF file is about 70 MB in size.
