Our Process
- All items are individually examined and cleaned using compressed air or a lint
free cloth.
- All items are then sorted as per size and film type (black & white, colour,
etc) as necessary.
- All items are examined for damage and general condition.
- A test scan of a couple of the items is then completed using the
settings that you selected on your "Photograph and Document Scanning Order Form".
Once everything has been tested and adjustments made the scanning of your
items is commenced.
- Once the scanning of your items has been completed according to your
specifications, each photo is then viewed on our colour calibrated monitors
where they are then cropped and corrected as necessary.
- During the scanning process, depending upon the number of items to be
scanned, samples are placed on a secure website for you viewing. These
files will typically be about 100KB in size and will not be suitable for
printing. They will remain on the website for up to 6 weeks.
- Once all items are scanned they are then burned to either CD's or DVD's
as per your requests.
- Once complete payment has been received from you all items will be
shipped back to you.
