Negative Scanning Quality

Do It Once, Do it Right, At High Quality

Review the sharpness of the images below. We'll let you decide which resolution your negatives deserve.

Resolution :

Resolution describes the detail an image holds. Higher resolution means more detail. The term applies equally to digital images, film images, and other types of images.

The measure of how closely lines can be resolved in an image is called spatial resolution, and it depends on properties of the system creating the image, not just the pixel resolution per inch (dpi). For practical purposes the clarity of the image is decided by its spatial resolution, not the number of pixels in an image.

Color-depth :

Higher color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. It is a computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of single pixel. At ScanCafe, we use by default True Color. This is also referred to as bits per channel. True Color is 8bits/channel, 3 channels (red, green, blue): 8x3 = 24bits.
