Saturn Films 1969

I recently found an envelope crammed full of unprotected black and white negatives of various shapes and sizes. There was over 240, the newest being over 55 years old with the oldest over 80 years. From this collection David performed miracles providing us with an insight into our family life generations ago. There was obviously a lot of painstaking work required to achieve the standard of the finished results. Professionalism at its best.

Saturn Films 1969 did amazing work on tiny, damaged ( but very precious ) negative's from 1950's. Received brilliant prints. So I tried my luck with damaged photos and was delighted with the results. I cannot praise their work high enough. Great service, friendly company and competitive prices. Definitely recommend Saturn Films 1969.

David Sack of Saturn Films 1969 has done an absolutely superb job, turning my vast collection of transparencies, negatives and video tapes into digital files. So many memories, until recently confined to the attic and effectively lost, have been retrieved and made accessible and shareable on all the devices we use today. The quality of the work is first rate. Scans of slides and negatives are all made at very high resolution and were then electronically cleaned to virtually eliminate accumulated dust and fingermarks. Having opted for the professional service, I received the original full resolution scans as well as the standard, compressed edited ones. Editing included cropping to remove any trace of the slide frame or rough edges and, in some cases, manual correction for exposure and colour casts where necessary. Being of much smaller file size, these were the ones that I have used most but having the original uncompressed scan has been great when working on selective enlargements where every bit of resolution is required. David offers a very personal service and we were involved in regular discussions throughout the course of the job. He was very keen to provide what I wanted as a customer, despite the fact that I was often quite demanding!One of the great joys of having had this work done is discovering that the quality of pictures taken decades ago is often far higher than I dared hope; vastly superior to the fuzzy, faded prints that were my last memory of the photos. Remember those square enprints from Boots - rounded corners, matt finish and when every sunny day looked orange? Commercial printing of the 70s, 80s and 90s failed to show all the detail that had been captured in the negative and colour fidelity left a lot to be desired. By contrast, scans of the negatives shows that the photographic film of the time was far superior to contemporary printing and it almost feels like you're seeing images for the very first time. The picture attached to this review was taken in 1964 - the quality is amazing. I would highly recommend digitisation of anyone's valuable picture collection and, in particular, the service provided by Saturn Films. It doesn't cost a great deal; in fact far less per picture than I paid to have poor quality prints made over 40 years ago.Moreexpand_more

Great service and good prices. I had some really old slides and photographs scanned and the results were superb. The pictures looked better than when they were new!
