35mm slide scans

Most people have or know someone with a large slide collection. As time goes by those slides are being destroyed! The dyes in the film break down over time leading to fading, color changes, and loss of detail. In addition without a backup there is no protection from physical damage and wear. Water and humidity among other things can destroy slides very quickly or lead to fungal damage. After having your slides digitized you can share protect alter and reproduce the images in almost anyway imaginable. Slide film can fade in only a day or two of projection; we can make new slides from your images so you can project them all you want without fear of irreversible degradation to your master images.

We do slide scanning a little differently.

Instead of using a consumer level Nikon scanner like most labs we chose to locate and purchase the best possible scanner for us to scan your slide collections with. Our scanner, the legendary Kodak HR-500+, is faster and produces better scans than what the completion uses. We are able to easily able to meet or beat other outfits on price but they cannot close the quality of our system. Our expert color calibration produces better results than the automatic or hand correction offered by others. If a scanner is properly calibrated then correction is not necessary almost all cases. Our service features custom calibration for each film type using an adaptable 68 billion color pallet. This includes custom calibration for Kodachrome slides; a specialty of ours (found out more here).  Calibration is updated daily for 100% consistent results.
