When is photo scanning useful?
Archiving
A digital copy protects valuable photographs from fading, moisture and physical damage. High-quality TIFF files are suitable for long-term storage and for passing on to future generations.
Restoration
Before old or damaged photographs can be digitally restored, they must be scanned at high resolution. Scanning is the first step toward color correction, removal of cracks and scratches, and contrast recovery.
Sharing
Digitized photographs are easy to send to family, upload to cloud storage or use in photo books. Smaller JPEG files are convenient for email and social networks.
How does the scanning process work?
Our workflow is simple and transparent - from receiving the originals to delivering the finished files.

When we receive the originals, we assess their condition, size and intended use so we can recommend the most suitable resolution and scanner.
2. Scanning
We scan with the Epson V750 Pro or Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Plus depending on the size of the original and the required quality, handling the materials carefully.
