How can I deliver my negatives?

Does it even make sense to have old negatives scanned?

In what file format are my scanned negatives saved?
By default we save your scanned negatives as JPG files. For special requirements we also provide saving them as TIFF files.
In what resolution are my negatives scanned?
Depending on the quality level you choose, we scan your negatives in 4,250, 5,000 or 6,200 dpi.
Do I get back a digital negative or an inverted negative?
You will get back your negatives inverted.
How should I pack up my negatives?
Envelopes or sleeves are best suitable.
Should I rather have photos scanned or negatives?
In most cases the negative is more suitable to scan, because we can then achieve a higher resolution.
Do I have to remove the paper strips off the negatives?
No! We will remove them in the scanning process.
Should I clean my negatives before I have them scanned?
We absolutely recommend a cleaning. You can either do this yourself or have it done by us professionally for a little extra charge.
Is it possible to only have selected negatives scanned?
No, basically MEDIAFIX scans all negatives on a strip. If you cut them or deliver them loose, we will charge this extra. Our prices relate to strips of four to six negatives. Strips of two to three negatives we can of course also scan, but this will result in an extra charge of €0.04 per negative. Scanning single negatives will cause an extra charge of €0.12.
