DVD's Vs. Full Resolution Scans ..
When ordering 35mm scans for viewing on a TV monitor we will typically provide the images back on a fully interactive DVD. During the encoding of the DVD we resize the images to a size more suitable for displaying on a TV, this process does involve reducing the file size.
If you also require a copy of the full resolution scans for use on your computer then please notify use when you place your order so that we can prepare a second CD/DVD to provide you with the master TIF/JPEG files.
Tell Me About Nikon Digital ICE Advanced...
Digital ICE works by building a record of defects in the image during scanning. Scanners normally work with three input channels - red, green, and blue. Scanners equipped with Digital ICE add a fourth channel called the D channel (defect channel). During scanning information on defects, surface dirt, and scratches is collected. Digital ICE then applies a series of algorithms (formulas) to rebuild the missing information. The result is scans that are scratch free and dust free even if the original film has serious defects.
Digital ROC technology samples the 35mm scan and then using sophisticated sampling technology is able to calculate the amount of colour shift present in the image, the technology then rebuilds and restores the deteriorated colour values automatically. The results are faithfully rendered digitized images.
Digital GEM technology reduces the effects of film grain. It reads the grain details in the film, extracting all the vital data relating to the image quality and colour. The resulting images are sharp, clear and devoid of visible grain.
Digital DEE technology was developed and recently introduced to help reveal detail that is sometimes lost in shadows and highlights. The technology compensates for under exposure of backlit subjects or shades areas as well as the overexposure of brightly lit areas.
At Images4life we are able to offer all of the above scan technology for 35mm slides.
