Analog to digital conversion of your slides, photos, film, and original documents
Analog to digital conversion of time-based media such as VHS and cassette.
We specialized in creating digital archival files from slides, film, photos, original documents, and analog time-based media. Our trained staff are artists, including our image scanner and we understand artists’ needs better than most other scanning businesses.
We always use professional grade equipment for professional quality image/document scanning. Our monitors and scanners are color calibrated. While other scanning companies use the filters built in to the software without looking at your images, we actually determine what you need.
If you are in need of our digital archive services, please fill out the request form below and we will contact you as soon as possible with a response.
Why we recommend digitizing your analog documentation and original artwork:
Slides will deteriorate over time. Colors fade, film emulsions break down and other surface defects will affect the image quality.
Most of places you apply for grants or exhibitions online require digital files to submit.
Once your images are digitized, you can easily import them into software for artists to keep track of all your work, your sales, your shows etc.
You can back up all of your digitized images on a DVD and put them in a safety deposit box once a year in case your studio should ever flood, catch fire, or other disaster.

• All slides are cleaned with compressed air to remove loose debris
