Editing Package

Standard (Everyday)

Includes basic color correction and exposure adjustment to ensure balanced, natural-looking scans. Cropping, rotation, dust removal, and minor spot corrections are included. The scanner type will be chosen by the scan technician. Color and brightness inconsistencies are expected.

Professional (Signature)

Adds a second color correction pass on top of the Standard editing package. This correction step maximizes consistency across your entire roll, correcting for color and brightness variations. We aim to match your work to the style of your selected color preference / editing style.

Color Preference / Editing Style*

You can use this option to choose the overall look you would like us to edit towards. Select from provided mood boards or submit your own file for us to match to.

Mood Boards

We've built mood boards that represent the most common looks our customers have asked for. Each mood board comes with a predefined scanner and scanner settings to best achieve the selected look.

Custom Reference Image

Take full control over our guide image for adjusting color and brightness by uploading your own image and selecting your scanner of choice. If no image is uploaded, we will use your already existing reference images or our default mood board (The Cult Classic).
