Negative Scanning Service

A digital image is type of image, which is captured from digital camera or a scanner or computer.

Slides scanning will provide high quality images than just scanning the printed image. The reason behind this is that the film or slides scanning will take the original image and provide the first generation copy whereas scanning the printed image means scanning the second generation copy that provides the third generation copy.

Other difference is that the slide or film negative contains more DPI resolutions up to 3000 where as the color image paper contains only 300 DPI resolutions.
