Slide & Negative Digitisation
Careful high-resolution scanning of slides, negatives and film strips. Individually handled in Adelaide and digitised with options for infrared dust and scratch reduction, multiple exposure and archival-resolution capture
Bring Back Slide Night!
Slides and negatives are some of the most exciting photographs to digitise because you never quite know what you’ll rediscover. A box of slides may hold pictures unseen since the projector was last unpacked. A strip of negatives might reveal photographs that were never printed, or moments missing from the album. Seeing them properly can feel like opening the collection for the first time.
Well-preserved colour slides can be dazzling. Their luminous colour, rich tones and fine detail have a distinctive character that comes alive when viewed at a generous size. Careful scanning captures those qualities, while negatives are converted into recognisable images ready to explore.
Each frame is individually dusted and scanned, with the resolution and treatments chosen for your film. You receive organised digital images to enjoy and back up, with your original slides and negatives returned.
