Most color films will be scanned with Digital ICE. This is an element of our software that dramatically reduces the appearance of dust and scratches in the digital image scan. We will use Digital ICE automatically for most color films (except for large format film, stereoslides, and super slides), but not on any black and white film because it actually distorts the digital image in black and white scans.
The option for edited or unedited files is available for all the formats listed below.

film formats
35mm Slides
Scanned to 4000 dpi.
Any size film within the mount as long as the mount is no larger than 2"x2".
Color slides will be scanned with Digital ICE.
35mm Slides
large format film
Scanned to 1200 dpi.
Standard sizes are 4"x5" and 8"x10", but we can accommodate any size smaller than 8"x10" if you have irregular sizes.
For film that is larger than 4"x5" we will use our flatbed scanners and scan the images under glass. This can create subtly noticeable "newton's rings" in the scan, just so you know. This is caused by air space between the film and the glass.
We scan all large format films in our flatbeds so Digital ICE will not be applied and dust and scratches will show in the scan.
large format film
110 format negatives
Scanned to 4000 dpi.
This type of film is slightly lower quality than 35mm, so the digital image will appear more grainy. Color shifting can also be more severe with this type of film.
As you can see, these frames are very small, so the digital image will be smaller too. But at 4000 dpi, you will still get a great size image for viewing and/or printing.

110 format negatives
35mm film
Scanned to 4000 dpi.
Most common film size in strips no longer than six frames.
Trimming may be needed, but we are very careful and will always ask your permission first.

35mm film
stereoslides
Scanned to 4000 dpi.
Long (~4"x1.5"), rectangular, mounted slides with the same image on each side.
We will scan only one side but will be consistent to that side for all the stereoslides in the order.
We scan these in our flatbeds so Digital ICE will not be applied and dust and scratches will show in the scan.

medium format film
super slides
Scanned to 3000 dpi.
This film is square and larger than standard 35mm, but still sits inside a 2"x2" mount.
Because of the larger interior film size we scan these in our flatbeds so Digital ICE will not be applied and dust and scratches will show in the scan.
super slides
APS Negatives
Scanned to 4000 dpi.
This type of film is slightly lower quality than 35mm, so the digital image will appear more grainy. Color shifting can also be more severe with this type of film.
