FILM SCANNING

Many photographers are beginning to realize the importance of archiving their portfolios. Negatives discolor and fade with time. Converting them to a digital format ensures that they maintain their crisp colors and allows for multiple copies to be stored in various areas for safe-keeping. Converting negatives to digital files also allows photographers to edit and manipulate these images more efficiently and effectively.

Recognizing this important bridge between the film and digital platforms, DPI Photo Center purchased the best film scanner in the market—the Kodak Professional HR Plus 500 Film Scanner.

Kodak Professional HR Plus 500 Film Scanner

With the Kodak Professional HR 500 Plus Film Scanner, you can quickly generate high-resolution digital images from photographic negatives and positives.

You can digitally capture images and store them in files up to 128 MB in size. The scanner is capable of variable magnifications from 0.5 to 2.0.

The built-in DIGITAL ICE technology corrects blemishes and defects on negatives and reduces post-print retouching time.

With the HR 500 Plus Film Scanner, you can use films ranging from 35 mm to 70 mm widths, including 46 mm width film and the 120 series formats, with up to 90 mm frame lengths.
