Functional, modern, rapid - the relaunch of delosfoto.de

 

Scan service of the photo agency delosfoto

 

Beyond the marketing of pictures, delosfoto additionally offers a scan service for analogue graphical material. This service can also be used by all clients who do not market their pictures through delosfoto.

For photographers who want to market their pictures through delosfoto, special conditions will be made. Please ask, if you are interested in this option.

 

General information

We kindly ask you to make a critical selection of your pictures. Only correctly exposed and well-kept slides guarantee a good scanning result.

We generally scan the complete material being sent to delosfoto and do not make any further selection. This also means that film strips are being scanned completely; an individual selection is not possible here.

Please make sure that the emulsion side can be identified clearly. This is especially important in case of framed slides.

Please take care that the slides lie perfectly flat within the frames. Do not use slide frames made of glass.

 

Processing duration

Depending on the scope of the order 1-4 weeks.

 

Delivery of the scanned material

The material should be delivered in plastic- or paperboard-frames which are placed within magazines, light boxes, journals, little boxes or archival sleeves.

Sticking strips have to be removed; otherwise, there will be an extra charge.

There will also be an extra charge for slides that have to be detached from passepartouts.

The personal delivery of the scan material to our office is possible by agreement.

The transmission of the material can also be done via postal service.

 

Delivery of the scanned material

You optionally receive your data burned on CD/DVD or, in case of larger volumes, on a removable disk.

Please notice that the data has to be checked immediately after the receipt since it will be deleted from our internal storage after a period of four weeks.

The scanned slides and the used graphical material can either be transmitted via postal service or by personal pickup. For shipping fees please check the following table.

Special services

Multiple scans, multi exposure: Disturbances and noise effects are being reduced by multiple scanning in order to increase the image quality. Beyond that, an additional scanning with the function of multi exposure is possible. By first scanning with a weaker, second with a stronger exposure, an image with high dynamic range can be achieved.

 

Standard image editing

For our editing service we use Adobe® Photoshop® which is installed on computers with calibrated screens. The standard is:

  • ICE dust and scratch removal

  • Rotation of panel formats

  • Removal of black margins

  • Increase of contrast by tonal corrections

  • Adjustment of brightness

  • Straight alignment, e. g. in case of awry framed slides

  • Re-sharpening by unsharp masking

 

Further image editing

If you choose this option, we offer you an individualized picture editing corresponding to your specific needs and interests, for example:

  • Retouching

  • Alignment on special desire

  • Use of all kinds of effects and filters
  • Image modification on special desire

  • Composing (collage of two or more pictures)
