We’ve made the process of having your old photographs and slides scanned very easy. All you have to do is first check that you are in our free local pickup and delivery area, then count up the items you want to be scanned and fill out a simple form with your details and we will contact you with a pickup time. When we have your items, we double-check that everything we picked up is with us and then we send you an invoice for the work. When the invoice is paid we scan your images and send you a download link and then arrange a time to drop your items back along with copies on a USB stick or a DVD if required.
It’s as simple as that!
The Scan Studio scans photographs, 35mm slides, 35mm negative strips, and medium and large format transparencies. All our high-resolution scans can be used to produce new prints up to A4 size as standard and over A2 if required. If you don’t want to produce prints, the image files can be shared digitally on Facebook or Instagram or on TV’s at full 4k resolution.
If you have old or damaged photographs, we can retouch these to make them new again. We can repair tears, creases, water damage and scratches on all photos making them look new again. If you have photographs that need repairing please send us a message along with a picture of the photograph and we can give you a quote.
All our scans come with basic colour correction as standard, but some photographs need more work to bring them back to their original colour. Our team of colour experts can bring photographs that have faded over time back to life to make them look like the day they were taken. If you have any images like this please message us along with a picture and we can give you a quote to make them look great again.
Photographs come in many different sizes, at The Scan Studio will can enlarge your photographs to the size you require for your needs, weather it be a large poster or for your favourite picture frame. Our standard sizes are large enough for you to print your scanned image to approximately A4 size (297mm x 210mm) at a very high quality, but this can sometimes not be large enough for your needs.
