Photo Scanning Services - Transparency Scanning

Digital Pickle offers full service transparency scanning to help you convert your dusty old collection of slides and negatives into crisp, clear, vibrant digital images. Anyone whose cherished memories are stored on such dated formats understands their vulnerability and inconvenience. It only takes a scratch, water, or the simple passing of time to render transparent images unusable. Even if you are able to maintain your transparencies in good condition, it's time consuming and difficult to keep them organized and recognize each image easily. While many people consider purchasing a home scanner with a transparency adapter, Digital Pickle's transparency scanning services will yield a much higher quality product, save you time and hassle, and will likely save you money. If you try to scan yourself, you will have to invest the time to master the fine skills required to produce a quality output. With Digital Pickle, our expert imaging technicians do the work for you! We will analyze each individual image to fine tune the focus, exposure, color quality, and sharpness.

Home scanners can take 5 minutes or longer to scan a single transparency. Most economically priced home scanners also sacrifice quality. Why spend weeks or months scanning your photo collection when Digital Pickle can convert your transparencies into high quality digital images using our top of the line commercial scanning equipment, which delivers you unmatched quality for your money.

Digital Pickle also offers professional image quality services that will enhance your digital images far beyond what you can do on your own.

With our composition enhancement expertise, we employ a variety of automated tools to restore a photos original colors and composition. You can't stop slides and negatives from deteriorating over time, but Digital Pickle can improve the quality of your images to remove discoloration and grains.

Most slides and negatives, especially older ones, suffer from dust and scratches. Our CleanScan technology "sees through" dust and scratches to produce a nearly perfect digital image. Without CleanScan, your transparencies just won't have the same flawless appearance. Note that CleanScan does not work with black and white slides and negatives.

Our transparency scanning service produces .JPEG format images, which are transferred to a Data DVD.

We scan and digitize photos, slides, and negatives of any format using high-end Kodak HR-500 commercial image scanners that produce unmatched image quality. Our expert digital imaging technicians spend time with each individual frame to ensure ideal exposure, focus, color fidelity, cropping, and orientation. We create files suitable for online photo sharing as well as CDs or DVDs with image files and folders.

We can perform digital retouching on any photo or digital image. Image retouching is performed by our expert technicians manually using Adobe Photoshop. Since photo touch up requirements vary greatly, we quote our work on an hourly basis and most projects take much less than an hour. Photo Editing is often requested to remove or add objects or people to an original image resulting in a very different final image. This work is also quoted on an hourly basis for the same reasons as photo touch up.

Digital Pickle specializes in producing spectacular, flicker-free DVD slide shows with interactive features and your selection of music.

Essentially, a slide to video conversion is what it is about.
