Premium vs Basic vs Auto Scans: Which is best for me?
C-41 Premium Scans
- In-scanner adjustments AND post-processing corrections (color grading, exposure, cropping and contrast edits)
- Fully edited images delivered that are ready for you or your client
- Custom color profiles (good if you have a brand and want consistent coloring that matches your style)
C-41 Basic Scans –
- In-scanner adjustments only (no additional post-processing corrections will only be made)
- Full control of the editing process (good for photographers who like to edit their own photos)
C-41 Auto Scans – Automatically includes a quicker turnaround time (2-3 business days) without the need to pay for a rush order.
Includes auto-scanner adjustments only (no custom color profiles or manual color correction). The negative is fed into the scanner and each frame is auto-corrected by the scanner using built-in color and density algorithms. This scan service is ideal for a photographer who is confident that the film has been metered correctly and the exposures are very consistent. This is also a great service for a beginner photographer who is just starting out and wants to evaluate different film stocks. Additional editing such as cropping, color, toning, and density may be needed to achieve a finished product. All of these differences are corrected in Premium Scans but are left as-is for Auto Scans.
