Oscans has high end, pro lab image capture equipment and a team of imaging specialists with extensive experience in handling the output requirements of professional photographers. Your professional photographic archives will be efficiently scanned to a high quality standard at a reasonable price.

All film images (including Kodachrome slides) will be scanned with the HR 500 Plus, Kodak's flagship scanner with inbuilt Digital ICE cleaning technology. Digital ICE uses infrared sensors to detect dirt, mould and scratches on the film as it moves through the scanner. The software then digitally removes its appearance from the image file, resulting in a clean scan with minimal defects. View our samples page to see how scans with our equipment compare to other scanners.

Our staff understand that professionals have particular colour requirements and specifications. Images will be scanned in TIFF format into the Adobe1998 colourspace unless otherwise requested. They will be supplied in full resolution TIFF and JPEG format as well as a lower resolution index format suitable for HDTV viewing. After scanning we will optimise the tones and colour of each file with our Photoshop batch processing techniques, or individually process files when extra attention is requested. Oscans will exceed your expectations, delivering beautiful results every time.

We have the capacity to scan and process large collections of film, including 135, 120 and 110 strips/rolls, photographic slides, and other transparencies up to 8 x 10 inches. We are also able to efficiently handle uncut rolls in 135 and 120 format and scan photographic prints larger than A4.

Make an appointment today for a free test scan and consultation, so that we can understand your preferences and requirements. We are happy to work with you from start to completion to ensure that you have beautiful images.
