We 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, colour corrected, scanned to your requirements and meticulously hand cleaned (except 'JustScan').

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.

There are four types of scan available. "LibraryScan provides a finished 8bit Tiff file of 75Mb - perfect for library submission or A3+ printing. JustScan is the same but with no post-scan cleaning for those who prefer to do their own edits. AlamyScan is also similar to LibraryScan, but the final file is saved as an 8bit JPG file in line with Alamy's submission requirements. Finally, MaxScan takes the technology to the limit for each film format and is the one to go for when you need a really big file.

"Beautiful clean, sharp scans. But I think the thing that impresses me most is the uncanny colour accuracy of your scans."
