Professional Drum Scanning

There are many reasons why you might want to drum scan your film, the underlying reason that supports all the others is that a drum scan will give you the most accurate reference digital file from your most valuable photographs. We work with photographers, artists, design companies, PR companies, book publishers, in house designers, marketing agencies, museums, art galleries, and magazines, scanning their film or artwork to create high resolution digital images. Whether the digital images are for print, advertising, posters, magazines, exhibitions, we can work with you to get the best high res image for you. With most companies now stopping making Cibachrome prints, digital prints may well be the only choice left if you don’t want to run your own lab. Many professional photographers consider that a digital scan is more accurate than a projected enlargement on Cibachrome and that they also offer the photographer the ability to ‘develop’ their photograph according to their own vision. A drum scan can also ‘rescue’ photographs that you thought were ruined through underexposure or too much contrast. Their ability to recover shadow detail is astonishing (if you hold up a transparency to a bare light bulb and can see detail, a drum scan can recover it).
