Negative Scanning

About Negative Scanning

We offer a wide range of negative film scanning from the common 35mm through to 127 super. Due to the small size of film in comparison to a photo, higher resolutions are required to provide the same results.

We use Epson V700 and V800 and Powerslide 5000 scanners to achieve the great results that our customers are expecting. The service includes a gentle air brush to remove loose dust, before scanning.

What Scanning Resolution is Right for me?

2400DPI

Standard Resolution

2400 dpi is perfect for slideshows, TV, mobile devices, social media and small prints.

3600DPI

High Resolution

3600 dpi is great for photo books, limited editing (zoom and crop) and will print to nearly A4 size from a 6x4 scan.

4800DPI

Ultra-High Resolution

4800 dpi will provide advanced editing and print to nearly A3 size from a 6x4 scan.

Slides / Negatives Scanning

Slides and negatives often hold images that were never printed, making them some of the most valuable items in a family collection.

We carefully scan 35mm slides, photo negatives and selected medium or large-format film using dedicated flatbed scanning equipment designed for transparent media.

Each frame is handled with care and digitised to create clear, high-quality files that can be viewed, shared, printed or safely stored for the future.
