My portfolio of services also includes professional digitization of photographs from analog material.

Types:

• 35 mm negative or positive (max. 6 frames per strip without cut)
• 35 mm slide in frame
• medium format 6 x 20 cm (3 fields 6x6cm)

The digitization process in steps:

1. Preparing material for scanning (pre-production)

• Loading film holders, cutting according to scanned frames if necessary – the holder can hold a strip with a maximum of 6 frames of 35mm film or 3 medium format frames.
• Blowing away dust.
• Setting parameters for the scanned format in scanning software. (VueScan)

2. Scanning (production)

• Repeating process of scanning frames (Epson Perfection V850 Pro) to the required format, continuous preparation of holders.

3. Editing (Post-production)

• Conversion to positive (for negatives).
• Basic color correction of scanned material, which fades over time and loses color fidelity.
• (optional) Advanced color adjustments, such as color temperature balance according to the current scene or local toning and contrast.
• (optional) Retouching of dust, minor scratches, or other imperfections.
• (optional) Retouching of mechanical damage such as tears, creases, moisture damage, local fading, mold, etc.
• (optional) Trim edges to format.
