Digital Photo
Processing of Film Photographs:
PhotoArt Imaging can process and enlarge your photographs
captured on film. Whether the photograph is in the form of a print, slide,
negative or transparency, we can digitize the image utilizing a high
resolution scanner equipped with high color bit depth capture, for
true color
representation of the original photo. The higher resolution files produced can create larger
print sizes maintaining original photo quality.
Digital Film Processing for:
- Photographic
Prints - any print size up to 8" x 10".
- Photographic
Negatives
- 35mm up to 4" x 5" in size.
- PhotographicTransparencies
- 35mm up to 4" x 5" in size

Digital Film
Processing details:
The size to which
your particular original photo can be enlarged is greatly
dependent on the condition and quality of the original photo.
Standard photo
prints can be excellent, clear and with sharp detail. This type
of photo print
can be printed very large and still look great. If the original
print looks a little
grainy at a smaller size, like 4x6, enlarging will also enlarge
the grain.
Bottom line...the enlarged print will look exactly like the
original,
only MUCH larger, accentuating any defects. Many of the defects
produced
can be retouched or fixed digitally, but this requires an
additional charge.
This also is the
rule of thumb for negatives and transparencies, although
it may be more difficult
to judge the condition of the original.
The above guidelines apply most when producing larger size
prints, in the 16x20 and larger print sizes. A good quality 8x10 print, 4x5 negative
or transparency
can be enlarged to 40x60 with excellent quality prints.
Before enlarging any photograph, simply take a very close look
at the photo
and try to determine the physical and optical condition. We
include minor
retouching with every scan, but some originals require more than
"minor"
touch-ups (5-10 min.). More major retouching is charged at
the standard digital retouching rate
and can not be estimated until we view the original photograph.
