Scanning Overview
I scan all popular film formats including unmounted 35mm, 35mm in glassless mounts, XPan, 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 6x12, 6x17 and 5"x4". Transparency and negative, colour and monochrome. Each original is individually assessed, scanned to your requirements, cropped and colour corrected. You can choose to have the scanned image manually cleaned of any dust and imperfections, or you can do this yourself. The digital files are delivered to you on CD or DVD as TIFF files - you can opt for 8-bit or 16-bit files at no extra cost.
If you are an Alamy contributor - there is a special discounted AlamyScan service which delivers upload ready JPGs to Alamy standards.

Scans are made with an Imacon (Hasselblad) 949 Flextight dedicated film scanner. This has a class leading 'dMax' value of 4.9 which means it resolves more detail from your original image. Your film is held in a flexible glassless file holder which Imacon call a 'virtual drum'. This flexes as the scan is made to ensure perfect edge-to-edge focus. The end result is a superior digital file from your work.
