Slides to CD/DVD
(see other photo scanning options here)
Why should I bother to get my slides scanned to disk?
- Slides make great photos but they do have limitations. As soon as a slide has been developed it starts to deteriorate, this process is very slow but after several years it starts to become noticable, if left too long the slide will lose its picture.
- Scanning slides to CD/DVD keeps the photos in good condition and provided the disks are looked after there is no reason that your photos should lose any of their vibrancy from the day they were taken.
- Slides are also not as easy to view as more normal photos but with a digital scan it becomes easy (and pretty cheap) to get photo prints from your scans.
- Perhaps the greatest advantage, though, is that your photos are now in digital form. Today, in this digital age, there are also many more ways to enjoy photos but all of these demand that the pictures are in a digital form. Having slides scanned enables you to enjoy the pictures in new ways.
- Sometimes we need more than one copy of a slide. Scanning is an ideal way to give copies of photos to others.
Why should I get you to scan my slides to disk?
Not all scanning services are equal.
You want to get the very best value. Your slides are important and you will want to get the best results you can. We make individual adjustments for each slide - we don't just let a machine do it.
We keep the prices low by making use of fast scanning equipment, having a carefully worked out workflow and through capitalizing on a great deal of experience. We are then able to pass on these savings to you so we can offer a high quality service at bulk scanning prices.
We also know that your photos are very important to you. We always take care of your slides when they are with us and during the scanning process. We also ensure that the digital scans are saved on good quality DVDs/CDs.
We scan your slides as if they were our own.
What are the options?
The options for scanning slides can seem overwhelming. We understand this and try to make things as simple as possible. You tell us what you want to use the scans for and we will advise on the best way to achieve your goal.
We like to help as much as we can and so encourage you to contact us and ask as many questions as you like.
We can save your scans in any way you like. You have the standard options of DVD or CD but we can save to memory cards, memory sticks, etc.
You can also choose to have your slides saved as TIFF or JPEG files. There is more on this the the FAQ section.
If you are at all confused or just want a little extra help them please contact us and ask.
