SCANNING

Scans - Fine Art

Black Cat Studio scans original unframed art to give you the best possible combination of resolution and reliable color. Upon completion you will receive a hi-res (300ppi) rgb.tif format and a low-res (72ppi) rgb.jpg file for each image unless otherwise requested. File preparation includes color correction, sharpening, and sizing. Background removal (turning the paper texture to white) is available for $35 per 15 min of file work.

Archiving Services - Photos and Documents

BCS can photograph and scan all your heirlooms, photos, documents, publications, correspondence, etc. Once each item is digitized, from the single image files we can then create a multi-page digital pdf format catalog that can be easily sent to many family members. BCS can also help create a searchable database from your catalog, letting you fill in information on a website about each item such as media, dates, locations, peoples names, keywords and more.
