Digitize transparent material

Transparent formats are made of glass or plastic, and can vary greatly in size and thickness. The packaging and condition of the material is always varied as well. Before every digitization assignment, we develop tailor-made solutions to ensure the highest quality standards for your precious collections.

Large collections: high speed and competitive rates

At Picturae we work with the contact sheet method, where we place, if not already, the negatives or slides in special transparent covers. We digitize these plug-in covers integrally, enabling us to process large-scale collections at an attractive rate. This method also makes it easy to make a selection of the images that must be digitized at high quality.​
