Scanning
Scans are undertaken using an Epson Perfection Pro V850 Scanner and can be saved as TIF, .jpg or both. SilverFast scanning software is used to perform scans and it can remove scratches and dust, re-colour faded images and do a whole lot more for colour slides and negatives. For any further work required, restoration quoting and pricing will be required.
We can scan photographs, film slides and negatives in 35mm, 120mm formats, but are unable at this time to scan film in roll form such as APS.
Restoration:
Have you found an image you would just love to hang on your wall but there are bits missing, cracks and scratches all over the image, the colour has faded? Restoration is able to bring them back to life. Restoration is an art, it can be a bit devious, taking an eye and copying it and flipping it to place in the spot where the emulsion is missing from the other eye, cloning and restoring pixel by pixel to get it to look just right, it can take a lot of time, so if you want an image restored, please contact us to discuss. Basic restoration could take 10 minutes, but intensive restoration could take 5 hours or more. Depending on your expectations, budget and what your end use is, we can quote.
Artful-Recreation
You have an image with a certain something special that you would love to make even more special………..like that image of dear Great Aunt Tess and her fabulous hair-do, shame about the lampost that appears to be rising from the top of poor Great Aunt Tess’ head! Let’s remove the lampost, or change the background, add a person, remove a person……….make it an image to put on your desk, put on your wall, use as wallpaper on your desktop or phone background. High-key, low-key, soft and surrounded by flowers, let’s make something special.
Please be aware that scanned images will only be as good as the primary source, if the image is blurry and out of focus to begin with, we cannot fix that.
