Scan slides into digital images

Many slides magazines with slides often remain in a box somewhere in the attic, meaning you can no longer share your precious memories with the rest of the family. The slides are also subject to quality loss over time.

By having your slides digitized you immediately create a safe backup of these precious memories. We scan your slides into digital images with our professional Nikon Coolscan scanners. We then put this on a USB stick, hard drive or download link via the internet. This way you can easily view your slides on your TV, computer or tablet.

Framed slides small image (24×36 mm) and half-small image (18×24 mm) – outer size 5x5cm

We can scan all types of mounted slides (outside size 5x5cm). The slides may be handed in the slide magazines, cases, folders, etc. in which they were originally placed. We provide each slide magazine/case with a unique number. The slides are converted into digital photos. We scan to JPEG format and all photos are given a serial number as the file name.

Naturally, each slide is scanned in the same order as in the slide.

You can choose from 3 different resolutions: 2000 dpi (5MP), 3000 dpi (12MP) and 4000 dpi (21 MP). The higher the resolution, the more pixels the digital image contains.

Slides on strip (24x36mm)

We can scan both loose positive strips (slides on a strip) (usually 5 or 6 slides on a strip) and slides on a roll for you. Even scanning slides that are supplied separately is no problem for us. All photos will be corrected for colour, light, dust and scratches. The infra red correction of dust and scratches doesn’t work as well with black and white photos as it does with colour photos.

The slides are converted into digital photos. We scan to JPEG format and all photos are given a serial number as the file name.

The price is charged per slides. All slides on a strip (with at least 2 recordings) will be scanned. If you only want specific images of a strip scanned, or if you supply a strip with only one slide, we will charge an additional surcharge of €0.39 per photo.

File formats

We can deliver just about all common formats. We normally use JPEG format. This gives a very good quality while the files don’t get too large.

We can also transfer the sliedes in uncompressed format, such as TIFF. We do not charge any extra costs for this. This format is often used in professional printing. However, this format creates much larger files: with a small image slide scan at 4000 DPI, a TIFF file is about 70 MB in size.

Technique

We use professional scanners. For 35mm slides we use the Nikon Coolscan 5000ED. The slide scanners have a true optical resolution of 4000 DPI. The Digital ICE4 Advanced™ automatic correction function automatically removes scratches, damage and fingerprints from slides. Our scanners are the best tested in many independent tests.
