Premium scans are color corrected in the scanner when the scan is made, as well as being corrected further in Lightroom and/or Photoshop. Premium scans are a finished product that you should be able to deliver straight to your client without any further enhancements or time spent by the photographer. Premium scans are great for the busy photographer who would rather spend his or her time shooting and not behind a computer editing scans.

Basic scans are made with all corrections for density and color made at the scanner itself and are not further corrected in Lightroom or Photoshop. This is a cheaper alternative to the Premium Scan and allows the photographer greater control to apply their own aesthetic and style to their work. Basic scans are, however, good scans and may not need further correction.

The typical turnaround time for basic scans is 1 business day from the date your film arrives. Premium scans take a day or two longer. Film dropped off before 10 a.m. is usually delivered the same day.

Yes, we process C-41, BW, ECN-2, and E-6 in house. We use Fuji and Kodak chemicals as well as true ECN-2 chemicals.

Yes. Give us a call and email us some examples of images you like. We will try to match the look you prefer and consistently provide that to you for each order moving forward.

Once your film has been developed and scanned, you will receive an email to the address given on the order form (make sure it is legible). That link will be active for 4 weeks. You will be able to download your full-resolution scans. If you wish for your scans to be delivered via a USB drive, include a drive when you mail in your film, and we will mail back the drive once the scans are complete, along with your negatives if desired.

That is totally up to you. If you don't want them back, we will destroy them. If you wish for them to be mailed back immediately, we can do that. 

If you wish for us to hold on to your negatives for 3 months while you submit other orders, we can do that as well and mail them all back at the same time.

Well, yes, we do! Have a box of old photos laying around that you would like preserved or shared digitally? Well, we can help. For $0.20 a photo, we will scan your photos and deliver them to you digitally at 600 dpi or 1200 dpi ($0.25), which means you get a digital copy that can be printed at the same quality and is twice or 4 times as large as your original photo. You can keep them on a thumb drive or in the cloud with Dropbox or Google Drive. Ship us your photos or drop them off, and you can pick them up when we are done scanning them, or we can mail them to you. It is a great way to preserve old photos from a trip, vacation, wedding, or school memory. Give us a call for more details. Most old videos (VHS, VHS-C, VHS-S, Hi-8, mini-DV, Betamax for $20, 8mm, and Super8 movies are $15 per 50’.
