We
see each scan job as a custom scan job. We always ask enough
questions about where you want to go with the scan so we
can be sure you will get what you need. We always color correct,
sharpen, and dust spot each scan. We will archive it to a
disk, upload to an FTP site, or email it to you. Color correct
proofs are always available.
FILM
SCANS are done on our high resolution
Imacon "virtual
drum" scanner. These film scanners have become the
professional standard for photographers worldwide; in
fact Imacon bought Hasselblad recently and merged the
companies under the Hasselblad name. We scan transparency
or negative film at resolutions up to 6300 dpi, and film
sizes up to 5x7.
FLAT
ART SCANS (when appropriate) are done on an 800dpi
tabloid+ size professional flatbed scanner with focusable scanning
area and single direction cold cathode light source. For larger
images, see the Art Capture page.
CUSTOM
STUFF
We
are always willing to customize our scan services. We can offer
16bit scans, raw scans (without dust spotting and clean cropping),
and sometimes gang scans. We can do oversized flat art scans on
the flatbed scanner in several pieces and "stitch" them
together to save you the expense of the larger format Art Capture.
We are especially skilled at "de-screening" art that
must be used from a previously printed source.
