Professional Film, Photo & Artwork Digitisation
High-Resolution Scanning for Slides, Negatives, Transparencies, Prints & Original Artwork
Studio22 offers a professional, high-quality scanning service, producing clean and accurate digital images from your slides, negatives, transparencies, photo prints and artwork. Every item is individually assessed by an experienced operator, with a selection of scan sizes available to suit your project and final output.
A key part of our process is the specialised software we use—designed to reduce dust, scratches and surface imperfections. Combined with our high-end scanning equipment, the results far surpass what is typically achievable with consumer or home scanners.
To complete your workflow, Studio22 also offers a full range of digital printing services, ideal for personal projects, creative work, professional portfolios and archival reproduction.
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 copied to your USB device or sent via a service provider like www.wetransfer.com.
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.

Negative Scanning:
High-resolution scanning allows us to extract finer detail from film negatives than is typically visible in standard photographic prints, making it especially suitable for older or faded negatives.
35mm negatives are accepted as strips of 4 or 6 frames, or as full rolls. Loose-cut negatives may incur an additional handling fee.
