Digital Overview

DESCRIPTION

Scanning is the process whereby photography is converted to a digital file. At Benchmark we scan very high resolution from the film plane. The film is not in contact with any glass or plastic which can distort or cause artifacts.

TYPES OF USE (Things to Know)
Printing (brochures, ads)
Internet
E-mailing

FINISHED SIZE
Printing-actual size on paper
Internet-either pixel width by height or inches at 72 dpi

RESOLUTION
300 dpi-printing brochures/ads
72 dpi-internet or e-mail
Other printers/devices check what they recommend

FILE TYPE
Jpeg, jpg-used for e-mail, internet
Tiff-for printing, must specify IBM/MAC

WHAT WE RECOMMEND
We can scan your film to a "high" resolution scan (8.5"x11" @ 300dpi) and "low resolution scan (7"x5" @ 300 dpi) and a web, jpeg file and then burn it to a CD. This gives you full flexibility.
The TIFF files (high and low resolution) must be formatted to IBM or MAC (you tell us which), but the CD can work for both.
