SCANNING & POST PROCESSING


At Bell Street Printworks we have the facilities to flatbed scan important photos and documents for digital restoration.


Scanning and Digital Processing

Initial Scanning:
$20 per image, document, slide or negative

For the technically minded:
Each is scanned in each individual color (RGB, Red, Green, Blue) to maintain the best color quality. Adjustment to contrast and brightness takes place in the histogram. All of this is performed at the preview stage to give the best result in the final scan.

Film and negatives:
The Gallery scans 35mm, 120mm and 5”x4” slide and film up to 3200dpi. (anything above 3200 to 19,800dpi is interpolated). The Gallery also flatbed scans photos or documents up to A4 size.


Digital Restoration

Prices vary depending on the state of the original. We will quote on sighting the original material.
Once the image is on the computer, we clean up any scratches or dust spots, color correct and take out any unwanted information from the file to completely rejuvenate the image. Customers are welcome to observe this process and offer feedback at each step so that he or she achieves the best result possible. If the customer cannot be present, the gallery will send the original scan and finished image by email to the customer for approval.

NOTE: it must be remembered that the color setting on the gallery computer screen will differ from other screens.

Scanned images can be burnt to disc (included in pricing).
