Photographic images have been captured on a variety of formats over the past 150 Years. With high quality scanning we can produce stunning prints from virtually any film format.

Some of the common formats we work with include: Glass plate negatives, Large and Medium format films, Box Brownie films ( 120, 126 etc ) and 35mm Slides.

People are often surprised at the results, often discovering significant imagery not easily identified from the negative.

Of particular interest to local and family historians is our Document Scanning and Restoration service. Documents are often more fragile than many photographs and require special care and attention. Some of the enhancements we perform digitally include:

Enhancement of contrast and sharpness to improve legibility. Repair of creases, tears, stains and discoloration.
