We scan 35mm slides and 110 slides to digital using Nikon 5000 ED high-resolution, dedicated slide scanners. This dedicated film scanner gets better results scanning slides than a flatbed scanner designed to scan documents. The dedicated slide scanners employ optics and mechanical structures expressly catered to scanning 35mm films. As part of our 35mm slide scanning service, we employ dust and scratch removal technologies to make the digital images shine.
For 126 slides, 127 slides, and "superslides", we have a choice regarding how we scan. We can digitize them in the same 35mm slide scanners that we use for standard 35mm slides. This works well, but crops the slide to the same size as a standard 35mm slide, losing some of the area around the border of the larger-than-35mm slide frames. For snapshot images, this is often acceptable because the subjects of the slides are generally in the center of the frame. Alternatively, we can place the mounted 126 or 127 slides in a carrier and digitize them in a Nikon 9000 ED high-resolution medium format film scanner. This method captures the full frame area of these larger slides. Converting slides to digital images using this medium format scanner is more labor intensive and time consuming; it is therefore more expensive. If you send 126 or 127 slides to us for scanning, we will call to discuss this choice with you before we do any scanning.
For 110 slides in 1" x 1" slide mounts, we place the mounted slides into a carrier and scan using the Nikon 9000 ED high-resolution medium format film scanner.
After digitizing slides for you, we perform a series of post-scan processing steps. This includes color correction, exposure correction and careful hand cropping. If your slides are faded, we may employ sophisticated color restoration technologies that can really bring faded and color-shifted images back to life. Even after scanning thousands of faded slides, we often still find the results absolutely stunning!
When we have finished converting your 35mm slides to digital images, we place preview versions of the images online for you to view. After you have had a chance to preview the scanned images online, we return the digital images to you on archival-quality DVDs or CDs (along with the original lides) using a reliable, trackable carrier. Your slides are treated with utmost care while they are in our hands.
