Details

The conventional way of scanning an entire film is to first scan it using a low resolution scanner with draft quality, then re-scan the selected images at a higher resolution. In my view this workflow is outdated and has several disadvantages:

Elephant scans eliminate all these problems by scanning each and every frame at high quality from the start. The unedited, original RAW scans are always included along with the processed images, which makes them a perfect backup for future projects and safe archiving. This means that all images can directly be used for further production and do not have to be re-scanned again later on.
