The standard processing time is 1-3 business days depending on the volume and chosen quality:

• For smaller volumes (up to 50 slides) - usually 1-2 business days
• For larger projects or maximum quality scanning with Imacon Flextight - a longer time may be required
• For urgent cases, contact us - we try to be accommodating

Yes! We specialize in the restoration of old slides:

• During the scanning process, we can improve contrast and partially restore colors

Slides are positive images with natural colors that can be viewed with light from behind. Negatives are inverted images with opposite colors.

• Slide scanning uses different scanners and processes than negatives
• Slides usually give higher contrast and more saturated colors
• Slides are more sensitive to exposure errors during scanning
• Each type requires specific processing for optimal results

Digital ICE is technology that automatically removes dust and scratches from scanned slides:

• Uses infrared light to detect defects
• Automatically corrects defects without affecting image details
• Especially useful for old slides
• Significantly reduces the need for manual retouching
• Works with all color slides

Digital ICE is included in our standard scanning process at no extra charge.

The resolution choice depends on the intended use:

• Standard quality (1037x1565px) - for internet needs, social networks
• High quality (2048x3057px) - for printing up to A4 size
• Maximum quality (4492x6774px) - for professional needs, large prints, archiving

For 120 format slides, the resolution is correspondingly larger. We recommend choosing higher quality if large prints may be needed in the future.

We offer two main formats:

• JPEG - the optimal format for general needs, smaller file size, 8-bit color depth
• TIFF - a professional format, lossless, available in 8-bit or 16-bit color depth

16-bit TIFF format provides wider possibilities for color and contrast corrections, but creates significantly larger files. Ideal for professional projects and further processing.

Yes, we also specialize in the scanning of problematic slides:

• Old slides with faded colors - we perform color correction and contrast enhancement
• Scratched slides - Digital ICE technology automatically removes most scratches
• Dusty slides - professional cleaning and Digital ICE processing

Important: expect that old slides may be scratched and have faded colors. For more complex cases, we offer additional restoration services.

• If the mounts can be carefully disassembled - we perform scanning and try to reassemble them
