IMPORTANT Additional Info

PRO+

Priced per Roll or Sheet | Good for industry-leading TIFF scans with unique options pros love.

These are similar to the non-member Pro scans: CMOS-sensor camera scans with increased dynamic range, resulting in up to 40 MP TIFF files. With Pro+ and only as a member, you have the option for additional Raw, Raw+Catalog, and TIFF+Raw+Catalog file delivery.

ULTRA

Priced per Roll or Sheet | Good for incredible scans, higher dynamic range, and improved color capture.

Recommended for 35mm panoramic (i.e. XPAN) and larger, these are scanned with a 100 MP sensor, providing output of 50-90+ MP depending on crop factor for each format. These scans provide even higher dynamic range and 16-bit color.

HYPER

Priced per Image* | Good for getting the most out of roll film or nearly anything you’d ever use from sheet film.

From this point, on, we only provide such scans for large-format film. While we do consider wide medium format film such as 6x12 or 6x17 in this category, the previous ULTRA scans already approach and exceed the limits of resolution provided by smaller formats. HYPER scans provide the same industry-leading dynamic range and color information, but also get even more out of each sheet with 3-image multi-captures that provide 100-200 MP images depending on crop factor for each format.

LUDICROUS

Priced per Image* | Good for maximizing the resolution of all sheet film.

This is as insane as it gets. Frankly, few need this. But if you like museum quality, drum-scan crushing results, LUDICROUS is for you. Also just for larger-format film on a per-sheet basis, we get a little crazy and stitch at 1:2 on a medium format sensor. What kind of resolution is that? Try 240 MP 4x5s, 350 MP 5x7s, or whopping 900 MP 8x10s. That’s megapixels, not megabytes. Yes, your files will be larger. Hard drive not included, so thank goodness for our lightning-fast Internet and server delivery.

*IMPORTANT: For HYPER and LUDICROUS, 4x5 and 5x7 pricing is per sheet. 8x10 pricing is half-sheet, so please double quantity in cart for 8x10.

**All Pro-level scans (anything on this page, as well as Pro scans on the standard page) are camera-scan-based. We use the best dust removal technologies, but some minor dust may still remain in some areas of all Pro scans. We believe the additional scan quality far outweighs the often imperceptible occasional dust spot for most uses, but you very well may still notice dust spots or small debris lines on camera-scanned images. For manual dust removal options, we will have professional editing as a service available in the near future.

File Delivery Options

TIFF (Standard)

This is likely what you’re used to. Clean, finished, incredibly detailed TIFF files.

This is the gold-standard file return for all member-level scans selected here. Nothing beats a finished, edited TIFF.

Economy Pro Raw

A unique option that gives you 100% control at 50% of the cost.

This unique option allows you to get the same incredible image quality without the expense. Whether you want to save money without sacrificing quality by doing some work yourself, or if you simply prefer to have greater control over the entire conversion process, this option provides unfinished, unedited negative, raw files that you finish yourself. All the quality, 100% control, and significant savings.

TIFF+Raw

The best of both worlds.

This option combines the previous two options, providing a copy of the unedited raw files for any use in addition to the usual, finished TIFF files.

TIFF+Raw+LR Catalog

Have it all for ultimate flexibility.

In addition to standard TIFF output, which gives you near-finished files, the Lightroom catalog file together with the raw images allows you to have a record of the edits we made in a fully editable format. Fire up the catalog for an order into your own Lightroom, and make small tweaks to your liking without starting over. Or, simply import the catalog to keep a local workflow/record of the edits as though your own personal in-house studio did all the work.
