Why Scan Slides and Negatives?

Back in 2003, Kodak announced that they will no longer produce and sell slide projectors.  Before long, it could be nearly impossible to buy a slide projector or replacement bulbs for the projectors.  

Scanned film ensures the digital capture and restoration of the image from the film before any further degradation takes place. The longer your slides and negatives sit around, the more likely they are to suffer serious degradation from fading, scratches, mold and mildew, loss, or damage.

Scanned images that are stored on CD can be copied and stored in a safe location like a bank vault. When your images are transferred from your slides and/or negatives and placed on CD, you have much easier access to your images without dragging out the slide projector and screen. 

Use our "Peace of Mind" service and we will keep a digital backup copy of all your images for you for 10 years.

Scanning film gives better results than scanning paper photos. This is true because the film is the original image and not a second-generation copy. This means that the film contains much greater detail than you can ever extract from paper photos. A major benefit of film is that it offers a much greater contrast range than can be extracted from paper photos.

What Are Some Things I Can Do With My Scanned Images?

One of the great things about having your photo library captured to a digital format is that you have the freedom to do anything you want with the images. 

Print photos from the scanned digital images.  You can create printed photos using your own photo printer of choose from several on-line and local companies that will create prints from the digital images that we provide to you on disc.  We have created a FAQ page containing several companies to choose from HERE

Capture and archive your family history heirloom with photos

Make copies of the CD-ROM’s and give them to everyone at your next family reunion.

Create DVD Video Movies of your digitized photo library so that your computer challenged parents and grandparents can easily enjoy the slide show without having to drag out the old slide projector and a screen.

Create lasting memorable gifts for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, war veteran memorials...

Use the digitized images in a PowerPoint presentation for your company, classroom, or seminar.

...and the list goes on and on.

Cost Benefits

Are you in a situation now where your old Kodak, Airequipt or Bell & Howell projector doesn't work anymore and needs expensive repair? Even replacing the lamps in these old projectors can be extremely expensive - if you can even find a replacement bulb.

Once you have your slides and negatives digitized, the cost of making duplicate CD's is dirt-cheap. This makes it unbelievably affordable to share your family photo collection with every member of your family.  It also allows you to keep a backup set of CD's in a bank safe deposit box.  Then should a disaster strike your home, you will always have a backup of your irreplaceable photos in a safe place.  Try doing that with slides! 

Business Applications

Digital presentations are becoming more and more common and you need a quick, convenient means to convert your slides into digital files for electronic use.  Whether you are a business traveler, educator, medical or dental professional, or in sales and marketing, you can benefit from transferring your 35mm slide presentation to digital format.   We offer economical slide conversion services that will make the transition from slides to digital files seamless.   Instead of lugging a slide projector and all of your slides through airports and hotels, you will now be able to put your entire presentation on a single CD-ROM.

By having your slides converted to digital format, you will have your images for a lifetime of use and the ability to retrieve them on demand. You will be able to store thousands of images in a space the size of a small binder, and index them for ease of locating.  Unlike 35mm slides, digital images will not deteriorate from the heat and light generated by the slide projector.
