35mm Negatives
The following scans are actual examples of 35mm negatives which we've scanned into digital images. All of these images as you can see show marked degradation of the dyes contained in the film. This has occurred simply from the passage of time, however, poor storage may in some cases accelerate this process. If not scanned in time, all of these images will be lost.
The red outlined bubble depicts exactly how the negative appears at the time of scanning with no correction.
The blue outlined bubble pointing to the finished "customer ready" scan gives you details on the file. This gives you an idea of the specifications of the completed files you'll expect to receive. Of course you will also receive the same image in JPG format, reduced in resolution by 50 percent. These reduced JPG files will be suitable for printing your images if you'd like at your favorite photo printing retailer. Alternatively, these JPG images give you more than enough resolution for displaying on your phones, portable display devices, computers, digital frames... any device that supports JPG format images. The possibilities are endless. Even e-mailing to your friends and family. As discussed elsewhere on the website, the TIF format images (as shown beside the blue outlined bubble) are given to you because they contain ALL of the data from the original scan. Retain these as they are a permanent copy of all of the photo information that was captured at the time of scanning with no compression or loss of data.
35mm Negative Scanned Sample - Number 1
This group of negatives were shot in the 1980's putting them at approximately 30 years old. As you can see, the dyes have begun to fail considerably.
The first scan is an un-modified raw scan as the analog slide exists at the time of scanning.
The second scan is what you would receive if this were your slide. As you can see, the muddy brown color is gone, and much of the original color has been restored. This particular shot was in focus and taken in good lighting conditions with a reasonably good quality camera.
