35mm, APS & Medium Format Negative Scanning

35mm Negative Scanning

NEW LOWER PRICE!

Let us preserve your 35mm color or black & white negatives by hand scanning them into a digital format. Negative scanning is provided at 2000 dpi (5MP) with higher resolution files available at a higher cost. Our scanning technicians will correct each frame to ensure the best possible scan from each negative.

Now just $0.39 per exposure, we will scan your negatives and include one complimentary DVD or CD (depending upon the size of your order) with your new digital images on them returned with your negatives. Strips must be at least two negatives long and we must scan the entire strip. We cannot selectively scan negatives on a strip. You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed. We color and density correct and enhance each image using Digital ICE. (Note: Digital ICE cannot be used with B&W film. These negatives will be scanned without Digital ICE)

NEW: For $0.74 per exposure, have your negatives scanned at 4000 dpi creating a 16MP equivalent file. Best for museum quality archival purposes. For this service, check the appropriate box on the order form of additional services.

Packing Instructions: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. This will render them unscannable.

APS Negative Scanning

The same service and options as 35mm film scanning but APS film is $9.95 for per roll for 2,000 DPI and $19.90 per roll for 4,000 DPI, regardless of exposure count (15, 25 or 40 exposure). Due to APS' smaller film size, file sizes are smaller at the same resolution when scanned, compared to 35mm film. Our scanning technicians will correct each frame to ensure the best possible scan from each negative.

When scanning APS film the entire negative is scanned regardless of what you shot the layout to be. The way APS film worked was it always shot a 4x7 proportionate negative and then would be cropped accordingly when printed. We scan the entire negative that was shot and ignore what the setting on the camera was at the time of the picture giving you the full image.

Packing Instructions: APS film is self-contained in the canister. Please do not remove or attempt to remove the film from the cartridge.

NOTE: From time to time, we are unable to scan APS rolls. While this occurs only occasionally, we have found that over the years, some places decided to process and print APS film but did want to make the investment into the required equipment to do so. These labs would remove the film from the cartridges, tape it to a card and process the film. Unfortunately, when you use this process, you have to cut the film and official APS film printers/scanners require a very specific minimum length of film. If it is even the slightest bit short, it then becomes unprintable/unscannable with the proper equipment, which we have. Sometimes labs would get lucky with their cutting, however most of the time, it was cut too short for official equipment. Since we don't have any other way to scan APS film, we are unable to scan those rolls and will be returned with a note.

Medium Format Negative Scanning

We can scan single cut or strip cut medium format. Pricing for single cut or cut rolls is noted below. As with standard 35mm negatives and slides, all scans are processed with Digital ICE to color correct and remove dust and scratches that may be present. Our scanning technicians will correct each frame to ensure the best possible scan from each negative. Standard scanning of medium format is done at 1000dpi. High-resolution scans are scanned at 2000dpi for double the cost. Due to medium format's larger frame, we can scan them at a lower resolution resulting in high quality scans when compared to standard 35mm. You can easily order additional photographic prints at the time the order is placed. 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, or 6x9 format only.

Packing Instructions: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. This will render them unscannable.
