Is your monitor set to display more than 256 colors? Take a look at the two pictures above: if they look the same to you, there is a good chance that your monitor is not set up to display more than 256 colors.

If you have noticeable grain or speckles on your film-derived prints it’s very probable that your negatives are highly underexposed (ie: they were not exposed to sufficient light). When photo printing machines encounter underexposed negatives they tend to boost the brightness to compensate, which tends to reveal bad speckly grain. Take a look at your negatives by holding them up to the light. If they seem very transparent and light then they’re underexposed.

This is a problem at low light levels, and may be also due to subtle bugs in the code. The cause is most likely the OV7610 settings we are currently using. I am looking into this problem. Some of this is caused by the older technologies and manufacturing processes used in the OV7610 and OV7620AE. The OV7620 is much better about this.

The ImmerVision PurePlayer viewer automatically downsizes the image if your computer has insufficient free memory to display the full size image. Check that you do not have multiple panoramas open at once, or other Java applets open on other websites. When you open the panorama in a window you get a lower resolution version of the panorama - you can click the button to view full-screen, but the image may look pixelated.

Are you by any chance using AOL? The AOL software has a configuration setting that causes it to only download parts of images. Another parameter limits the number of colors to 256, regardless of the way your monitor is set up. Check the software's preferences to make sure it is configured to download high-quality images at more than 256 colors.

First, we scan them at a high resolution, so you'll be able to make digital reprints later. Then we color correct them, which can restore faded colors, correct for poor lighting and improve contrast. Sometimes we can make decades-old photographs look better than they did originally. We also can remove some "red eye", and digitally repair minor blemishes, dust and scratches. If any of your photos require extensive retouching, we will contact you to discuss the costs.
