Digitze Your Slides & Negatives
Slides offered a very unique experience. Inviting the neighbours around to view images from your holidays abroad on a large projector screen was a hands-down winner over the humble photograph album. But today, the projectors are all gone and the slides are sitting in boxes in drawers or gathering dust somewhere in the garage. Never to be seen again.
But we can help. We can digitize all of those slides and make them useful again. You can now use your TV as your projector and show your holiday snaps to everyone! Not only your slides but also your negatives. Those stripes of small images where you can't quite tell who is in the photo because the negatives have all turned brownish and the colours reversed.
Preparing Your Slides & Negatives
Please follow the guidelines below to prepare your negatives and slides for digitizing.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the preparation process, please feel free to call us at 022 63 73 533.
Negatives and slides should not have any adhesives or tape on them.
We do not offer selective digitizing of negatives.
Keep your negatives in their protective sleeves.
Negatives and slides should be wrapped in plastic bags, then packed in boxes with adequate padding for protection.
Negatives and slides should all face the same direction.
Slides should be stacked in groups of around 20.
The Scanning Process
We digitize high-resolution images of 35mm slides and negatives using full-frame cameras or professional Epson scanners.
Standard 35mm slides or negatives are digitized at 3600dpi to produce a high resolution image that can be printed out up to A4 size.
Software dust removal is applied to standard 35mm negatives and slides where possible.
We wipe all negatives, photos, slides, etc., with a soft cloth before scanning.
Digitized images have automatic colour correction settings applied.
Additional dust and blemish removal is available at an extra cost.
All digitized images are supplied on a USB stick.
All images are provided in .jpg file format. For easy use on any computer or phone, and for printing.
