Slide Scanning
Standard 35mm Slides
There is still a strong demand for this service and that’s no surprise, considering how popular slides were for decades. There are vast amounts of wonderful family photos recorded on this outdated media and we specialize in transferring and preserving your slides to digital files.
​
As with all our services, a quality approach dictates our process. We start with a high resolution 4000dpi scan of each slide, crop, and then color correct each photo by hand for the best possible image quality. We then save the digital JPEG or TIFF files on a USB flash drive for secure storage and convenient access. We can organize your slide archives however you wish and even create stunning slide shows that can be viewed on your computer or TV. Custom organization is available. We handle each order to suit our customer’s individual needs.
Popular Slide Formats We Transfer:
35mm Format
Kodak introduced 35mm slide film in 1935, and slide projectors gained popularity starting in the 1950s. If you grew up in the 1960s, you probably remember family slideshows.
126/127 Format
Both of these formats share a 2x2 slide mount with a square image. They each originate from different types of film and the 127 format has a significantly larger image area.
110 Format
In 1972, the 110 slide made its debut and came in a couple different formats. One was a 2” x 2” slide mount with a small transparency size of 13mm x 17mm. A smaller version of the 110 was also created but never gained popularity.
120 Format
The 120 slide format was introduced by Kodak in 1901 for the release of their Brownie No. 2 camera. These slides are larger and can be in a cardboard holder or a metal frame.
Stereo Slides
Stereo Slides give the illusion of 3 dimensions when used in a compatible viewer. There have been many variations of this concept for over a century. For digitzing, we treat them like a regular slide after choosing the best original to work from.
Glass Slides
Glass slides were first produced in the 1850s and eventually replaced by transparency film. It is rare to see them today but we've been fortunate to have scanned several historical collections on this media.
