FILE FORMATS & ACCESSING THE IMAGES

We will generally produce image files in tiff and jpeg formats, although we can produce other file formats such as pdf, bmp etc. Images can be produced in full colour or greyscale and we can enhance or graphically restore them too.

We can supply our software to view and add meta-data to the images. This software is web based which means you can access it from anywhere that has an internet connection. Find out more about our ARCVIEW SYSTEM.

If you are interested in displaying your images online for the public to view then we can build websites or web pages (that sit within your existing website) that incorporate search engines and payment gateways so that the public can find and then pay for your images to be downloaded. Find out more about our WEB & SOFTWARE SERVICES.

FLAT-BED EQUIPMENT

We never use roll-feed equipment. All of our equipment is flat-bed. Why?...

The historical items that we handle are often fragile and deteriorating. Using flat-bed equipment ensures that no physical contact is made with the original which eliminates the risk of further damage.

Flat-bed equipment also ensures that we can digitise almost any kind of material including paper, board, tiles, wood, textile, canvas, bound books etc.
