Photographic and Scanned Imagery can be created on many systems. Productions on Large, Medium, and 35mm format film stock are becoming rarer now although they still exist for some specialised and commercial purposes. Meanwhile, Flatbed Scanners and Digital Cameras are comparatively more affordable and therefore have become very commonplace. Besides there being a multitude of formats in use, the inability to simply re-visit scenes/re-live memories at a later date means that all original images are preciously guarded. This make use of our forensic services vital.

The expense involved in high resolution/fine art Photographic and Scan production and distribution means cutbacks are sometimes made. At times, camera/lens specifications and recording media may be compromised. Added to this environmental factors such as poor conditions can significantly deteriorate the quality of work.

We know organising and presenting arguments about scientific/technical or other specialist equipment may be difficult. Our forensic services can improve peace-of-mind and assist understanding to overcome complications, by offering:

* Format Conversion — for safe and convenient viewing of any evidence in question, on equipment you are most comfortable using.

* Image & Content Assessments — for a clear summary of evidential facts or contradictions related to any points in discussion

* Physical Media Identification/Feature Comparison — of suspect prints/negatives or slides, etc.

* Photo & Scanned Image Continuity Testing — to forensically determine authenticity, re-retouching or copying of disputed images.

* Proximity Mapping Analysis (PMA) — an ideal tool for objective measurements/comparisons against known references. Typical uses are for facial mapping and confirming likely height, physique or posture plus other features/items like ears, hand-held weapons, etc.
