What we scan

Negatives and slides, black-and-white and colour, from 135mm to 10x12.5 cm, plus Polaroids and prints up to A3. The scanner is a Hasselblad flextight X5, calibrated with great precision.

Resolution and files

We deliver at the scanner's full resolution, as 16-bit RGB files. If the photographer wants to edit the files, we deliver them flat, without interpretation.

Cleaning and processing

Dust and scratch removal, mostly by hand, for the best result. Color editing on request.

Delivery

On the client's USB stick or external drive, or via SwissTransfer and WeTransfer. We keep a copy for a short period. Prices are quoted by phone, after we assess the job.
