DRUM SCANNING PROCESS
As photographers, we understand what it takes to get the most from a film original. Every scan we produce is 48-bit (16-bit per channel RGB) — no exceptions. Compared to 8-bit files, 16-bit data preserves far greater tonal depth, keeps gradients smooth and banding-free, and gives you the headroom you need for serious color work and large-format printing. Your drum scans are delivered as lossless TIFFs in Adobe RGB (1998), or ProPhoto RGB on request. You’ll receive your scans via a Dropbox download link.
Drum scanning NYC provides the client drum scans to the maximum optical resolution to match the fullest potential of your film originals and make it possible to produce large-scale fine art prints without limitations. We are also experts scanning color negatives. Drum scanning NYC uses the best scanner around, Aztek Premier, matched with Aztek´s sophisticated software Digital Photo Lab to guarantee the best results possible. We aim to give you the best archival scan from your film original.
