See what each scan tier
actually looks like.

We get this question a lot. Below: the same frame scanned at every tier we offer, with magnified crops so you can judge detail, color, and edge sharpness for yourself. Pick what fits the picture you are trying to make.

Heads up
Sample images shown here are placeholders until approved real lab scans are dropped in. The page structure is ready for real samples without changing the layout.

The four tiers

Every tier, the same frame.

We picked one Portra 400 frame and scanned it at every tier. Same negative, same operator, same color baseline. The only thing that changes is the scanner path and the file you get out.

Tier 01

Express

Web & social, fast turnaround

Quick batch scans for seeing what's on the roll, sharing selects, or choosing frames for later rescans.

$10 per roll

Tier 02

Day-to-day printing, sharing

Our default scan tier for most rolls: operator-corrected Noritsu files with enough resolution for everyday editing and prints.

Decision

Which tier is right for you?

If you

If you just want to see what is on the roll.

You shoot often, want quick keepers, and may come back for higher-res rescans later. You're not printing anything large yet.

Pick Express

If you

If you want flexible files for most everything.

You print small, share online, occasionally make a photobook or 8x10, and want files that look good without heavy editing.

Pick Standard

If you

If you are shooting for the portfolio.

You edit scans in Lightroom or Capture One, print larger, do client work, and need TIFFs with room for grading.

Pick Pro

If you

If one frame has to be perfect.

You are making a gallery print, selling an edition, or preserving an irreplaceable negative for the archive.
