Send us the best original possible. Film positives, negatives or slides are generally better than prints. We can make scans from virtually any original smaller than 12”x18”. Usually, a larger format original film or negative will produce better results than a smaller format. Of course, originals in the best physical condition will make the best scans. |
|
Let us know what size and resolution you want your scans to be. Please provide us with a size in inches and a pixel-per-inch resolution for each image you would like scanned. Alternatively, you can specify a file size in megabytes and your desired pixel-per-inch resolution. |

| What about cropping? We are happy to crop your image. Be sure to provide clear instructions (preferably a printed and/or marked-up example) for the exact cropping you would like. |

| How much can you enlarge
my image and still get a quality scan? There several factors which determine the final quality of a scan at a particular size. Film grain, the quality of the original processing, age, soft focusing, physical damage and other factors determine how well a scan will look at various enlargement values. In general, larger sized originals, coupled with a “slow” original film speed will yield the best results at great enlargement values. |
