 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul at Silver Dog Studios has recently had the epic task of digitising our 60-70 hard copy photo albums literally 3000 photos. Paul was so well organised and the quality of the digital prints is great. The task involved him removing all the photos from the albums, in some cases the photos were so well stuck down he had to cut them out and scan these by hand. The scanned photos were labelled in file folders by the year on the photo album and Paul also returned all the photos in envelopes labelled with the album year. We now how cloud copies and memory stick backup. So we won’t be leaving a load of albums for our children to sort and no doubt throw out. Though I still can’t bring myself to throw out the actual photos 😂. A brilliant job by Paul who is also very quick to respond to emails and questions. Well done and thank you.

Medium Format Scanning: Preserve Your Memories with Professional Quality

Do you have boxes of old medium-format film sitting in your attic or basement? Are you looking for a way to preserve your memories and share them with friends and family? If so, we can help.

Medium Format Film Scanning is the process of converting your old slides into digital files. This allows you to view, edit, and share your photos on any device. It also protects your slides from damage, as they no longer need to be handled or stored in physical form.

There are many different medium-format scanning services available, but not all of them are created equal. Some services use low-quality scanners that produce grainy, low-resolution images. Most use automated features that produce less-than-optimal results. Others charge exorbitant fees for their services.

At Silver Dog Studios, we offer a professional medium-format scanning service that is both high-quality and affordable. We use a Epson V850 scanner that produces stunning 3200dpi images, this produces very large files and allows us to push post-processing further producing incredible scans.

We post-process, crop and rotate all images by hand ensuring you get the highest quality images possible. Automated corrections done via scanners can not compete with images balanced by hand by a digital artist.

In addition to our high-quality scans, we also offer a variety of other services, including:

We understand that your memories are important to you, and we are committed to providing you with the highest quality service possible. Contact us today to learn more about our medium format scanning services.

Here are some of the benefits of Medium Format scanning:

Preserve your memories: Medium Format film is a fragile medium, and they can easily be damaged by light, heat, and moisture. By scanning your negatives, you can protect them from damage and ensure that they will last for generations to come.
Share your photos: Once your film has been scanned, you can share them with friends and family online or in print. This is a great way to keep in touch with loved ones and to relive your memories. You can access your image via our online platform as soon as they are ready and share this access with anyone you choose.
Create new memories: With your digital photos, you can create new memories by editing them, printing them, or creating photo books.

If you have any medium format film, in any size, that you would like to scan, please contact Silver Dog Studios today. We can accommodate any specific instructions you have ensuring you get your images back exactly how you want them.
