Photofusion Scanning

For digital and analogue photographers alike, scanning is an essential part of the workflow. Whether you are scanning your own negatives, digitising images made via an alternative process, preparing files for printing, or digitising an archive, our scanning facilities can accommodate you.

The scanners are driven by a dual quad core MacPro, with the Adobe Creative Suite CS5, connected to a fully colour managed, calibrated Eizo screen.

35mm and Medium format and 5x4 scanning is available.
