The details
For an existing negative collection, we begin with the format, approximate frame count and intended use of the files. We can then discuss a working copy for sharing or a larger file for editing without confusing the two requirements.
A contact sheet and consistent filenames make a delivery easier to navigate. Dust removal, colour interpretation and restoration are separate scope decisions; an ordinary scan does not imply that every scratch or damaged frame can be corrected.
What this covers
- Format and frame inventory
- File naming and delivery notes
- Sample-frame approval discussion
What to discuss first
- Are the negatives cut into strips?
- Is the priority sharing, editing or print?
- Is restoration a separate requirement?
This is an illustrative service outline. Exact scope, availability, timing and any fees must be confirmed directly before making arrangements.
