Geological Image Digitizing, Advanced Logging Technologies,Box 12009, Beaumont, TX, 77726, USA, 409 833-2130, Advanced Logging Technologies (ALT) scanning services specialize in the digitization of libraries of photographic prints, negatives, and slides at very low cost. Compare the cost of digitizing an 8X10 core photograph ($3) to the original cost of acquiring a high quality core photograph ($10-$25) and its original color and fidelity is preserved forever. A reasonable investment, when you consider the original cost of acquiring the image. Air is to photographic negatives and prints what smoke is to lungs, very damaging. Once an image is captured, its negative and print immediately begin deteriorating. Slowly, the original photograph will definitely degrade. We only have to browse through the family picture album to confirm this reality. Photographs should be digitized as soon as possible to preserve their original color and fidelity. Once a photograph is digitized, it immediately increases in value and becomes much more useful to your staff. A digital image can be instantly viewed, duplicated, analyzed, used in reports, and transferred to and from any desktop on your computer network. For many organizations that means world wide access; which is a far cry from a single photograph in a library of prints available at a storage site that only a few have access to. Processing photographic media is handled in a fully turnkey manner, from scanning to final image processing. Scanning is only the beginning of the process. All images are scanned in 32 bit color, have the white balance reset, digitally enhanced, and are saved in a customer selected file format. A minimum of two files are usually generated, one a high resolution JPEG or PhotoCD archive file and the other a lower resolution file to use in reports and catalogs. JPEG and PhotoCD are the principal formats used by ALT for high resolution image archiving because of their high compression rates and cross platform accessibility.
