Slide and Photograph Scanning

The Advantages of Slide and Photograph Scanning

Many old slide and photograph transparencies become damaged by mould, so it is worth preserving them before they become unusable.

We will safeguard your priceless 35 mm and different sized slides and photo slides by scanning and transferring them on to a CD or DVD as a series of JPGJPEG

PDF is a very popular multi page file format that is used by many companies because it can be opened by almost anybody using free software most people have already on their computers.

Photographs and slides are fragile

Even when stored, slides and photographs are susceptible to wear and tear. Slides in particular can gather mould easily which eventually makes them useless. The quality of these slides and photographs can be reduced easily and once this happens they are irreplaceable. By having these scanned and backed up electronically it ensures their safety. Images can also be searched through quickly and all files are kept together in one place.

The movie would contain as many slides and photographs as you require and would slowly display these pictures using full transition effects as a rolling movie whereby you can put the DVD in any DVD player and watch the film. An additional 'nostalgic' soundtrack of your choice could also be added to this movie if you prefer.
