Highest-Quality Image Scans, Guaranteed!
Using the Nikon 5000 ED and 9000 ED Film Scanners, all slides and negatives are scanned at true optical resolution resulting in the highest quality, stunning detail, and vibrant coloured images.
Each slide/negative is manually processed using the professional restoration technology, Digital ICE Advanced 4 and touched up in Photoshop.
Digital ICE removes surface defects like dust and scratches without altering the underlying composition of the image.
Digital DEE reveals details lost in shadows and highlights.
Digital ROC restores colours lost through fading of the original film.
Digital GEM reduces the effects of film grain.
The following images are actual slides demonstrating Digital ICE technology. The first images has been 'naturally' scanned, meaning that no processing was done. The second image is an example of how Digital ICE can bring back faded, cracked slides/negatives.
Please note: our technicians are experienced enough to know how to configure the levels, highlights, exposures, Digital ICE, etc for a high-quality image. However, if the photo is blurred, out of focus, severely over/under exposed, it is difficult for us to repair those image defects.
Natural Scan. Notice the debris and damage done to the actual slide surface.
With Digital ICE. Now notice how it removed almost all the surface defects.
Here's a perfect example of an under exposed image.
With Digital DEE. Notice the detail it brings back.
In this image, the colours have faded due to time and exposure to light.
Digital ROC restores colour to it's original luster.
Another example of a difficult image.
