Photo Scanning Services
BluFox Photo & Video can scan your 35mm negatives into high-resolution digital computer files so that you can archive, reprint, email, share, and enjoy them all over again! Each negative is carefully cleaned and scanned by hand with our high resolution transparency film scanners.
We scan your 35mm negatives into 2000dpi or 4000dpi digital images. Typically, we scan into high quality JPEG files due to their efficiency and sharability between devices and online. However, we can scan your 35mm negatives into TIFF files if you prefer which offer richer color and higher quality at a bigger file size.
We recommend our Enhanced Scan which includes dust removal, color correction, brightness / contrast improvement, cropping, de-skewing and picture orientation. In addition, we can scan medium format negatives as well as large format negatives.
We also offer slide scanning, photo scanning and photos to DVD (photo montage). We have options for everyone’s needs and budget, so checkout the info below and don’t hesitate to call us if you have any questions. 226-348-2726
