Prices for scanning slides and negatives
1) Prices
Up to 100 slides:
40p per slide/negative plus £4.00 for the return postage and packing. Minimum order 20 slides/negatives.
Up to 500 slides:
35p per slide/negative plus £4.00 for the return postage and packing.
Up to 1000 slides (1000 maximum):
30p per slide/negative plus £4.00 for the return postage and packing.
If you wish to have the TIFF files as well as the JPEG files add 10p per slide.
Collection of your slides will of course save the return postage and packing. If you live locally you are very welcome to deliver and collect rather than use the post.
2) What's included
The basic premise is that I will scan the slides in exactly the same way (and with the same care and attention to detail) as I have scanned my own slide collection.
Every slide is dealt with separately. The price includes:- checking slide for suitability (no loose bits)
- careful brushing
- scanning using a state-of-the-art professional film scanner
- inspecting the result and if necessary:
- applying any scanning technology that may be able to improve the image. This includes using infra-red scanning technology (ICE4) to reduce incidence of ingrained dust and other blemishes, grain reduction, fade reduction etc.
- applying post-scan processing to improve the image. This is often not necessary but if it is, it is carried out with very great care. It may include altering the colour balance, the white balance, etc. I will also attempt to remove any blemishes that Digital Ice has not removed (but this is not a restoration service).
- copying the images onto a data-CD or data-DVD as JPEG files.
- optionally copying the images onto a data-CD or data-DVD as TIFF files.
- designing a label, printing and attaching it to the disk.
- the photos are supplied on disk(s) in a tranparent plastic sleeve.
- despatching the disk along with your slides back to you.
