However, a higher number is not always better when it comes to resolution. For instance, a 35mm slide scanned at 10 MP (megapixels) will allow you to make prints of up to 13″x9″ in size.
Convert slides to digital photos professional#
Beyond the timesaving aspect, a professional service can ensure attention to a few details that really matter when it comes to converting analog slides into digital images. You can choose to do it yourself using a scanner equipped to handle slides or outsource the task to a reliable slide scanning service. Stories like this are a powerful reminder of why we should think about digitizing our collection of old slides – now rather than later! “There are photos here that no one in my family had seen of my father…it’s an amazing experience to get to see him again.” We hadn’t had access to the images for many years.”Īfter the slides were scanned, however, a whole set of faded memories resurfaced for the family. The bulb for the slide projector went out a long time ago, and then the projector itself stopped working. “Before I sent in those 650 slides for scanning, none of us had really had a chance to view them all together.
As she described it, there had been no easy way to get to those images until that point: One customer recently sent us a moving account of how she decided to get a box of old slides digitized and in the process, uncovered several photos of a father who passed away when she was only four. Plastic allows one to tape and untape and it lasts longer than a paper one from an old shoebox.Some of the most heartwarming stories we get to hear in the photo scanning business come from customers who have recently had their photographic slides digitized.Īt one point in the pre-digital era, slides represented the most common way to capture memories.īut since most people, these days don’t have access to a projector for viewing them, the memories in them often stay boxed and buried. Then make the outside cuts so the adapter is 2x2". You can just make an adapter with a 1/16" thick piece of scrap plastic and an x acto knife. ie the 110 was shot with a lower tier camera with a single element lens. I have scanned some 110 stuff that a 2700 dpi film scanner was overkill and a flatbed worked just fine. But one might as well just at 4000 dpi if your scanner is this anyway.
Scanning at 4000 dpi may or may not help with most 110 stuff since much was not so hot. If the image was shot with a Rolleie A110 then one had a vastly better lens. If your 110 is just a simple instamatic image 4000 dpi probably is an overkill. I think the 110 slide is something like 40mm square. Or one can cut out a square in an old 2x2 slide frame and make it be the same as the smaller 110 size square.
I mention this long saga because you can place a tiny 110 slide back into one of these discarded 2x2" frames and then tape it and then project or scan it. (2) Mrs petite 110 slide projector "popped out" the inner slide at the score marks and used these tiny slides in her tiny 110 projector. (1)) Mr 2x2 projector used the slide as is
This scheme allowed the lab to mount all the 110 slides one way. This mount had score marks so one could "pop out" the smalller 110 slide frame out of the larger 2x2" square frame. Some of the later non Kodak processed 110 slides I got processed in the 1970's and 1980's came in a DUAL MOUNT PLASTIC slide mount.
