Drum Scans
When you order a drum scan this means you want the best image file possible. Our philosophy is "Scan once, use many". Our scan price is not based upon file size. We will scan all film to the maximum size that captures all the information without overscanning grain. This generally comes out to around 90MB for 35mm and 350MB for 4x5 (twice that size for 16 bit scans).
Our primary scan is the raw image scan saved in 24 bit RGB. Additional services include dust and scratch removal as well as full 48 bit scans.All film, color or black and white, is scanned as RGB and delivered as an RGB file. This ensures the best tonal and color fidelity of your original.
The following prices assume that each frame is individual. Scanning random frames from strips will incur additional cost.
| Film Size | Cost 1st Scan | Cost for ea addl. |
| 35mm | $50 | $30 |
| Medium 120/220 | $70 | $45 |
| 4x5 | $85 | $60 |
| 8x10 | 140 | $110 |
• We will deliver on CD or DVD or your external USB drive.
• For Dust and Scratch removal at 200%, add $10 per scan
Our normal turn around time is 72 hours. Orders can be picked up at our office or we will be happy to ship the final scan to you with your film.
Mounted Slide and Un-mounted Film Strip Scanning
We have a number of methods of digitizing color transparancy slides. We'll use the best method suitable for slides. All scans are suitable for making a 12"x18" full frame print.
All scans are reviewed and have basic tone and color correction. They are rotated to the correct orientation.
For film strips we can scan individual frames or entire strips. For rolls or strips longer than 6 frames we will need to cut the strip to 6 or less frames. There is an additional $5.00 charge for single frame negatives or un-mounted slides.
Additional Services
For slides or film that have small scratches and dust, we suggest including the D&S option. This is an automated dust and scratch process that eliminates most dust and small scratches from the scanned image. If the slides are old and/or have faded or shifting colors, then we recommend the "Restoration of Color" option.
This function can restore the color of the scanned image to an almost new look.
