Digital Ice dust removal is an absolutely safe solution - it does not touch your slides at all.

But it is not like Photoshop retouching.
It will detect the dust on a slide and remove or reduce it on a digital image.

Note: Tiff slide file is not for everybody.
- Tiff file slide scan is for graphic editing purpose only.
- Please remember that you cannot E-mail Tiff files (too big).
- Tiff is NOT for TV or computer viewing pleasure.
- Tiff files need a reasonably powerful computer to handle.

- Highest image quality you can get from your slides.
- Good for Hi quality lossless archiving and heavy photo editing.

Resolution
Basic 2000 dpi or Hi Resolution 4000 dpi.

DPI stands for Dot Per Inch, more dots per inch means more detailed info is captured when scanning.
Higher resolution means better quality.

2000 dpi slide scan is equivalent to 300 dpi of a 4x6 print.
4000 dpi slide scan is 4 times bigger than 2000 dpi scan files.
It is equivalent to 600 dpi of a 4x6 print, or 300 dpi of 8x10 prints.

Digital file format
Jpeg or Tiff.
Among many "Digital Graphic files", the most popular formats in the world of Slide Scanning are Jpeg and Tiff.

Jpeg (or often spelled Jpg) file is the most popular format of all.
Jpeg is good for printing, Web-sharing(such as Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox), E-mail and archiving.
You can also enjoy slide show on your big HD TV using a DVD player.

Tiff file is different from Jpeg file mainly in two aspects.
1. Scanning method is different - please see here for more details.
2. The way scanned file is saved is different - Jpeg compress the files, Tiff doesn't and keep the original size.

Note: Tiff file is not for everybody.
It is a perfect solution for Hi Resolution Archiving or Slide Graphical Editing purposes.
But Tiff file is too big for E-mail or Web-sharing. It does not play on DVD player as a slide show.
Tiff doesn't work on Tablet or Smart Phones.

What is Tiff Scanning?

Tiff file Slide Scan means that digitized scan images will be kept in lossless format throughout the scanning process from the original scanning to the end of saving process.
In other word, from the beginning (digitizing slide image) to the end (file saving), the scanned slide file is kept uncompressed Tiff format.

Jpeg is a compressed file format that after scanned the original file will be compressed to 1/10 to 1/20, and when viewed it will expand to its original file size again.

Jpeg scan vs. Tiff scan is not a matter of how to save the files after scanning, rather, the whole process of scanning is different.

Most consumer grade slide scanners are unable to scan in Tiff (uncompressed file) mode, because each digital file size could is very large.
We've found some companies are offering Tiff Slide Scan by scanning in Jpeg and only saving in Tiff format. That's a kind of cheating.

When we offer Tiff Slide Scanning, we do scan in uncompressed Tiff mode and save in Tiff.
The scanned digital files remain lossless, uncompressed throughout the process.

No refund. Because the CD/DVD we create can be easily copied at home.
We will redo works when quality improvements is possible.

Your original slides will be returned, but may NOT be in the same order as they were in carousels or pages.
Special handling fee may apply for slide removal from slide carousels or slide pages.

We are unable to scan slides in particular orders such as in chronological or in numerical orders.

To give you best possible slide scanning result, all slides will be grouped according to their slide types (such as Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Black and White), thickness or mount type (paper, plastic or glass).
Because they require different digital setting for slide scanning.
