Digital Archiving Services - Negative & Print Scanning
Film negatives are fragile physical pieces, but they contain some of our most important memories. I can help you to create a lasting digital archive that you can share with family and friends for generations. With the delicate touch that only a professional can provide, I can scan any size film negatives or printed photo up to ~8.5" x 11". In addition to creating archives, I can also enlarge photographs, do minor retouches to remove scratches and scuffs, improve the colors and contrast, and bring back some details in faded photos. Your favorite selections can be reprinted beautifully onto paper, canvas, metal or other surfaces. I can even create a custom photo book to display your favorite images.
Pricing depends on the quantity of photos you need scanned, the level of retouching required, and the desired resolution. My objective is to meet your specific needs! Please contact me with details about your project and I can provide you with a personalized quote.
I offer a sample package for $150 that includes*:
