Scanning & Restoration

Studio22 provides a scanning service delivering high quality digital images at affordable prices. Not only is each scan is individually assessed by an experienced operator with various scan sizes available, but a vital aspect of scanning is the software that supports it. Dust & Scratch Software ensure the scans are clean and clear, no matter how well negatives or slides are stored, dust is there. Our combination of software and scanner work together far beyond the ability of any home scanner.  Our services also include many forms of digital printing. See our price list below or click here to view our price list for all our service.

Slide Scanning:

We offer various scan sizes, all at 300DPI (photographic resolution). Scan sizes include files for use online or suitable for large prints. Film formats include 35mm, 126, 127, 110 and 120 (including 6×4.5, 6×6 and 6×7) mounted slides. If you’re not sure, just contact us.

Negative Scanning:

As negatives come in different sizes, we are able to accomodate most formats used over the past 20 years. Scanning is always high resolution (300DPI equivilent) and offered in various sizes. We will gladly assist in choosing the scan size to suit your needs (you can view samples at the bottom of this page).

We are able to copy colour, black&white or sepia images. Files or prints are supplied neatly cropped and sized.

Larger Items:

Items larger than A3 can be captured, please enquire as individual quotes apply.

Design:

Our designers use Photoshop to aid the restoration or retouching of images. If you require your images in digital format, we supply Jpegs as the industry standard (as used my most digital cameras).

We can arrange courier collections and deliveries nationwide.

Scanning resolution:

Standard resolution = 6x9inch at 300DPI (1800×2700 pixels = more than double FullHD)

High resolution = 8x12inch at 300DPI (2400×3600 pixels). Larger and smaller scans are available on request. See sample scans below.

Data transfer:

Digital files can be burnt to DVD or copied to your USB device. We are also able to send the data via a service provider like www.wetransfer.com.

Data to DVD   R30.00 (includes DVD)

Retouching or Restoration:

As artwork rates are based on time, one of our design team members will need to view your image/s in order to estimate the time required to retouch or restore the image/s. Often a simple crop can save a lot of artwork time and even enhance the final image.
