24.01.2022 How should I scan my images? The appropriate resolution to scan an image depends on a variety of factors, including the intended purposes of the image and the image quality itself. Staff at Oscans are happy to help you decide which service best suits your needs.... This old print, which is approximately 5cm squared was supplied by the Veerhuis family. When scanned at a high resolution, we often find that many 50 - 100 year old prints have an extraordinary amount of detail. Contact Oscans now 1300 138 970 https://www.oscans.com.au

16.01.2022 5 x 4 inch old print scanned at 600 PPI on a low grade, consumer printer/scanner, compared to scans taken with a high quality Epson V700 scanner. The consumer image is clearly inferior in quality even at the scanner's highest specification, with obvious JPEG compression artefacts throughout. Oscans recommends that images should be captured in TIFF format where possible.... Contact Oscans now 1300 138 970 https://www.oscans.com.au

15.01.2022 6 x 17 transparency frame courtesy of Grant Nichol. Magnified images to the right depict a tiny portion of the original image cropped after scanning the film image on a Epson V700 flatbed scanner and on the Kodak HR 500. All images were scanned at the same resolution and no digital adjustment has been applied to either image. In this case, the HR 500 has demonstrated a superior ability to focus and resolve the details within the image. Contact Oscans now... 1300 138 970 https://www.oscans.com.au See more

11.01.2022 Kodachrome image from slide provided by Otto Mellar. Extracts to the right show a comparison between the digital image scanned with a high quality Epson V700 scanner, an image scanned with a Creo IQSmart2 operated by a Kodak operator and one scanned by Oscans with the HR 500. All images were scanned at the same resolution and no digital adjustment has been applied to any image. The HR 500 image, in this instance, is noticeably superior to both the Epson and the Creo flatbed s...canners in both detail and sharpness. Contact Oscans now 1300 138 970 https://www.oscans.com.au

10.01.2022 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 (http://oscans.com.au/samples.html) to see how scans with our equipment compare to other scanners. Contact Oscans now 1300 138 970 https://www.oscans.com.au

08.01.2022 or ? Many people have large collections of film as well as prints, and are unsure which media to scan. This was scanned on a flatbed scanner as a print (top image) and its negative was also scanned by our HR 500 for comparison (bottom image).... When both options are available, it is typically better to scan from the original film than it is to scan from the print. Oscans applies Digital ICE technology to colour film images to remove the appearance of most dust and scratches. In some cases, film has been damaged over time. If the film image is irreparably damaged it may be better to scan from the print. Our staff are happy to look over your photographs to make the best decision as to which type of media you should scan. 5 x 3.5 inch high quality print by Anoma Nagasinghe.
