BEST QUALITY - DIGITAL RESTORATION (BEST FOR ALL SLIDES)

OUR PRICES FOR RESTORATION INCLUDE: Complete digital restoration of slides, scanning at 4000 DPI to J-PEG files with: DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT ICE, ROC & GEM, cropping & rotating image, photo quality CD Masters with printing direct on disc and case.

Digital ICE4™: The award-winning DIGITAL ICE4™ technology automatically removes surface defects, such as dust and scratches, from a scanned image & is more compatible with Kodachrome film

Digital ROC™: Automatically restores original colors by analyzing the base image and applying corrections to the faded colors.

Digital GEM™: Analyzes and reduces grain caused by the film emulsion, and automatically enhances the clarity of a scanned film image while preserving its colors, gradations and sharpness.

Slides are scanned to J-PEG file format at 4000 DPI (Approximate 5 megabytes per image, allows a print size of 12" x 18").

Minimal cropping is done so you don't see the slide mount and to give you a larger image.

The quality of these scans are incredible and you will not be disappointed. We recommend this process for ALL negative & positive films. Some companies only offer scanning with ICE & ROC with-out GEM and only use these digital services "as needed". We perform completed digital restoration on EVERY SLIDE!

SLIDE SCANNING INFORMATION

BEST QUALITY 35MM PROFESSIONAL SLIDE SCANNING: With ICE (removes surface defects), ROC (reconstruction of colour) and GEM (grain equalization and managment), removes surface defects and restores colour to faded slides. Slides can be scanned at 1000 dpi to a super high resolution scan of 4000 dpi. The focus and lighting are automatically calibrated, the orientation of each image is corrected so each image is upright on your computer screen, each image is straightened and cropped perfectly so that there are no borders anywhere on the image and the images are color corrected and faded colors are restored. We run each image through Digital ICE4™, DigitalROC™, DigitalGEM. These programs remove most of the dust and film scratches, correct for the effects of film grain, and restore faded color and correct shading in shadow areas of the image. This option includes cropping of the image.

We use master quality DVDs & CDs with the option to use photo quality DVD & CD masters or ARCHIVAL MASTER 24 Karat Gold DVDs or CDs.

Each slide is scanned in numerical order, in the order that you supply and if the slides are all in excellent shape. Slides that are bent, damaged or a different size or orientation will be scanned in the order that we can work with. If you require each slide to have its own name or separate folders, additional charges apply.

Bent & damaged slides

You can supply the slides in their original boxes, trays or carousels. If the slides are stored in individual metal frames or in a slide album were the slides must be removed and replaced additional handling charges will apply. Cost depends on quantity.

Slides stored in individual metal frames

Addition charges apply for scanning to TIFF file format and for our digital artists to review each image for color range and lighting correction, correct for the effects of film grain, and restore faded color and correct shading in shadow areas of the image.

After scanning slides will be replaced in there original boxes, trays or carousels but may not be replaced in the correct order or orientation unless each slide is numbered and show the correct side for viewing. Duplicate slides or slides that have no markings such as "view from this slide" will be scanned but could be scanned backwards.

SAMPLES OF OUR SCANNING TECHNOLOGY

This image, above left is a "raw" scan of badly abused 35mm slide. The same slide on the right was scanned with only the Digital ICE defect-removal activated. NO manual retouching was done!

"Digital ICE" defect-removal solution is truly one of the most amazing innovations in scanner technology we've ever seen. ("ICE" stands for "Image Correction Enhancement," Under optimal circumstances, it can completely remove scratches, dust, and fingerprints from a slide or negative, while leaving the underlying image untouched!
