Do I need to remove slides from carousels or magazines?
No, you do not need to unless you choose to. Otherwise the slides will be scanned and replaced in the containers they are provided for no additional charge. Subject & date information is also digitally preserved.
What slide formats do you scan?
We can scan any and all formats of slide film, from the standard 2″ x 2″ frame to medium formats and even stereo slides, both color and black and white.
What resolution do you scan slides?
High resolution is standard for increased flexibility for cropping and enlargement. Standard resolution is 4000dpi for most formats but specific resolution can be accommodated on request.
What type of scanners do you use to scan slides?
We use the Nikon Coolscan 9000 dedicated film scanners, highly regarded for producing excellent quality. Digital ICE infrared technology is used to aid in dust and scratch removal on color film.
Do you offer restoration for color, exposure, red eye, etc?
Yes, manual corrections with Adobe Photoshop CS5 are included for best quality results. The original unedited scans are also preserved for true digital archival.
How will I receive the digital images you create?
Your JPEG digital image files will be stored on a Taiyo Yuden Premium Archival DVD-R. Image folders will be organized and custom titled by subject.
What can I do with the digital images I receive from you?
Once digitally preserved, the door of possibilities opens: Photobooks / Prints / DVD Slideshows / Email Photos / Galleries / Digital Photo Frames / Distribute Copies to Family. Most of all… enjoy the memories!
I have a large collection of slides I want scanned. Where should I start?
Try breaking the collection down into major subjects or time periods. If your collection is not organized, you may find it easier to organize the digital images than physical slides.
Do you offer online viewing of my scans?
Yes, this is a free option with all scanning projects. Images are uploaded to a secure link on our server for viewing in a gallery format. Great for sharing with family members as a central online location of photos.

Slide Scanning with a Professional Touch
Slides are scanned at 4000dpi high resolution, resulting in large detailed digital images for quality enlargement. All scans are then manually edited using Photoshop CS5 for precise cropping and image corrections. The original scans are included for true digital archival.
