Photo slides to digital file?

Question

I was recently asked what would be an efficient way to transfer old photo slides that you would show with a projector to digital format?

Answer 1

Get the HP G-3110 or the HP G-4010. There is a middle slot to insert a dozen slides at a time. Click on SLIDES in the scanning software and it will automatically select the appropriate resolution and contrast.



You can save them as jpeg. Make sure you scan at 600 dpi for high quality scans.

Answer 2

It really depends on how much time you have vs. how much $$ in your budget you have to do your slide scanning project. It also depends on whether you want archival quality scans, or whether you just want quick and dirty scans as a backup.



Factor 2-3 minutes a slide and more with color correction and dust removal (really important to get all the dust off - and wear gloves if you DIY) and you can get an idea of how long this is going to take you.



There are services that do this - GoPhoto.com is the only photo and slide scanning service that has a NO-RISK guarantee: they'll scan everything you want scanned (no up-front organization needed), and you review all the scans online and ONLY pay for the scans you want to keep. Other scanning companies allow 0-20% deletion, and most require you to organize up-front.



GoPhoto also scans in the U.S., and has a 1-click port to Facebook and flickr.



If you're going to do it yourself, add up the amount of a good scanner and software (look into digital ICE - you'll need it), and then compare how much you'd pay to outsource, and you can get an idea of how much you'll be "paying" yourself to do it.

Answer 3

Many scanners are equipped with the scanning ability of 35mm film as well.

And new scanners are made just to scan the 135mm slides , and gives awesome result

and of-corce you can always get them scanned from a digital lab for outclass results , and save them on a dvd :)
