Best Color Diapositives for Best Mapping & Scanning!

 

Over the last several months we have had a few projects that the traditional diapositive material just has not cut it.  The shadows would go black and the sand and concrete would just blow out and detail was lost.  Obviously this makes the material hard to use for the intended purpose which is high detailed mapping.  After spending a few days running tests we have found such a dramatic increase in the detail that is found in a true film material over the RA4 material that Debra & Kevin Johnson have decided to make all of our color diapositives on this material unless other wise requested do to film with very poor conditions that the increase of contrast is desired.  This raw material has an increase price of approximately $1.40 per sheet so in the middle of February 2008 we had to increase the cost of our color diapositives but we only raised the cost $1.30 rather then the full amount of the increase.  After the items we tested and compared Debra knew in order to provide the best product to our clients and in order to provide them the highest ease of mapping or scanning ability that there was no other choice then to make this change.  We also have decided to run a dedicated processor to just run the color diapositives because the improvement is so dramatic as you can see in the two images below.  These aerial at 1:14000 which we scanned diapositives at 8um with slight color correction and saved as JPG for web purposes.  The original images show even more of a dramatic difference then the image but I know you will agree it is a change we had to make.

 

Take a close look at the sand, the corner of the truck and of course the shadow detail!  Our clients are raving about how much better their diapositives look then any that they have gotten from any lab for years!
