About These three images

    The fluid scan eliminates the dust and
    scratches of the dry scan. Fluid Scanning is
    over 10 X  as efficient as digital dust and
    scratch removal and in addition delivers
    better gradation and impact not attainable
    by any other means.

    Also notice the uniform and smooth tonality
    that sets it apart from the other images.

    This was a large project involving
    hundred's of similar old images and the
    artists were amazed at the simplicity of the
    technique and the effectiveness of fluid
    scanning which saved them countless
    hours in digital retouching.  

    Fluid scanmning works with all films even
    silver formed films where digital IR
    techniques do not work on silver halide
    negatives like these.
