There are four different types of scan to choose from:

"LibraryScan"
Our most popular service. Your film is scanned to produce a 75Mb 8-bit RGB Tiff file or 150Mb 16-bit RGB Tiff file and then cleaned at 100% magnification in Photoshop. LibraryScan is perfect for submitting images to picture libraries, archiving your best work and for printing at home - LibraryScan files print at around A3+ (19" x 13") at 300dpi.

"JustScan"
A 'no-frills' scan which results in a 75Mb 8-bit RGB Tiff file or 150Mb 16-bit RGB Tiff file. This is indentical to LibraryScan - but there is no post-scan cleaning. "Justscan" is designed for people who prefer to do their own editing.

"AlamyScan"
The same service as LibraryScan including full manual post-scan cleaning. Your images are supplied as 8bit JPG files (Quality Level = 12) in line with Alamy's latest submission requirments. There is a 10% discount built into the price of this service.

"MaxScan"
Your original is scanned at the maximum optical resolution supported for the film format to make a 16-bit RGB Tiff File of between 180 and 500Mb (or you can specify an 8bit version). This is the one to choose if you use an editing package which supports 16-bit files (eg Photoshop CS), when you need a really big file - for a large print, or you just prefer to have your work scanned at maximum resolution for whatever future technology demands of it.
