  • Materials treated with care, never shipped overseas and returned to you after scanning
Every image we receive undergoes some correction to remedy the effects of time. Photos that have been framed on display are particularly subject to fading, and even those hidden away in photo albums are subject to color shifts (unless stored in subzero conditions), both from time and from possible reaction to the photo album itself. For every image we receive, we will manually perform:
  • Re-orientation
  • Cropping
  • Scratch and dust removal
  • Color correction
  • Red-eye removal
In short, for our standard level of service, a technician will spend time addressing flaws, addressing all of the problems above, and then some. In our experience scanning millions of photos, this produces outstanding quality almost all of the time, for a minimal fee per image. (Some photos may be so damaged they require our restoration service, but that's relatively rare).

No Auto Feeding

Some services will run your prints through an auto-fed scanner, which works like an office photocopier. As the machines heat up, your photos get stickier and can jam, which damages them. By contrast, SophterLight handles your prints manually.
