Black and White Reversal Film Scanning
Archiving and Scanning Digitisation at Oxford Duplication Centre
Black and White Reversal Film | Reversal, Slide or Transparency Film Scanning
In photography, reversal film or slide film is a type of photographic film that produces a positive image on a transparent base. Instead of negatives and prints, reversal film is processed to produce transparencies or diapositives. Reversal film is produced in various sizes, from 35 mm to roll film to 8×10 inch sheet film.
We have professional scanners that are designed for use with 35mm film strips and B&W negative film strips. With enhanced sharpness and color clarity our strip scanners maintain a DPI of upto 10,000 dpi scanning resolution. Each scanner has a Dmax of 4.2, and 48-bit color depth as standard to ensure all detail is captured. With the addition of white and infrared LED sources, we can apply dust and scratch removal with ease. For Archival Standards Requirements we can use Multipass Xposure to make sequential scanning passes in order to increase detail and color rendering.

APS FILM – DISK SPINDLES
Due to the very low grain of the film formats, the film must be digitised to Publication TIFF before going into post production for colour, tone and sharpening. Once processed, we then convert the images to JPEG. |
