How To Select A Negative Scanner

When it comes to selecting a negative scanner, there are many options available. Choosing the right one can seem like a daunting process, but it really doesn’t have to be. One thing to be aware of at the outset is that traditional flatbed scanners should not be used for negative scanning, since the resolution and quality pales in comparison to that of a specialized negative scanner. For a major scanning project, it really makes sense to opt for a dedicated negative scanner.

In terms of resolution, you should shop for a scanner with at least a 4000dpi capability, and an 8- bit depth per color channel. Professionals should opt for a 16-bit depth. Additionally, you should make sure that your new scanner comes with Kodak’s Digital ICE software, a dust and scratch removal technology that delivers amazing results, but takes a little time to learn.

This is why it really is better to trust your large scale negative scanning projects to a professional company. For more information about this visit the selecting a slide scanning service page.
