Slide Scanning & DVD Creations

Organization of Slides

§         Customer is responsible for numbering slides in the sequence and groups desired.  Examples are:

• Group 1 Title -- 1954 (slides 1 - 63)
• Group 2 Title -- 1955 - 1956 (slides 64 - 125)
• Group 3 Title -- 1957 California Vacation (slides 126-174)

§         We provide slide viewers or light boxes for customers to use in organizing their slides and in determining which slides they want converted.  There is no charge for the use of this equipment for the first 30 days of use.

§         When we are not scanning your slides they are kept locked in 500 lb fire-resistant file cabinets for safe keeping.

§         Before scanning the slides, compressed air is used to remove any dust or loose particles.

§         Slides are verified to be in the right direction (the equivalent to facing screen in a slide projector)

§         Slide is scanned at 2000 Resolution which produces a high quality JPEG image approximately 1700 by 2500 pixels and 1 MB in size (Default setup is 2000 resolution and High Quality JPEG.  We can also generate TIFF images at slightly higher prices).

§         Once scanned each digital image is reviewed and edited within Adobe Photoshop Elements.  Minor adjustments for color, contrast, fingerprints, etc., are made when feasible.
