Capture Australia offers professional photo album scanning in Canberra through our authorised partner Lucent Imaging, located in Fyshwick ACT. Drop off your albums locally in the ACT, no postage to Sydney required, and your originals never leave the partner studio.
Lucent Imaging uses Capture Australia's proprietary glare-removal technology to digitise bound photo albums, loose prints, and photos or prints behind glass or plastic. We do not scan slides, negatives or film of any format. Albums stay assembled and photos stay in their sleeves throughout the entire scanning process.
Lucent Imaging is by appointment only. Contact the studio in advance to arrange a drop-off time that suits you. At your appointment, the staff will inspect your albums, confirm the page count and provide an indicative quote before any work begins. Scanning is performed on-site at the Fyshwick studio using Capture Australia's proprietary equipment. Your originals are returned to you unchanged at collection.
You receive high-resolution JPEG files delivered on USB drive or by secure cloud download, ready for reprints, photobooks, sharing on Google Photos and long-term backup. Pricing depends on your collection size and type, and the final count is confirmed before payment. For large collections of 500 photos or more, scanning can often work out to around one dollar per photo or less. Ask the studio about scanning your whole collection. Turnaround is typically two to three weeks depending on volume and current queue length at the studio.
