backs of slides face this way in the carousels — The fronts should face “counter clockwise” when viewed from the top of the carousel.

The slides go in upside down and the backs of the slides should be facing you when placed in the carousel and you are starting from the #1 slide slot and going clockwise around the carousel. In other words, the slide in the #1 slot should have its face towards the back of the #80 or #140 slide. The face of the slide will normally have the LOGO on it.

view slide from this side — Backs are fairly blank; may have faint numbers or dates stamped. Some say “View From This Side”.

back side view carousel — Another view of backs of properly oriented slides (e.g., “Made in USA” at the top).

slide orientation back side — All slides should be placed with the film running **widthwise**.

Don't worry. We will turn the final image so that it views correctly on your computer or TV screen.

slide orientation turned — **Do NOT** orient the film “up” as shown here.

Lots of people choose to just send the carousels because it saves a lot of trouble. You can even tell the portrait slides that need to be rotated to landscape by holding the carousel at an angle. No need to take every slide out.

scanner scanniing area — The white box shows the scanner’s capture area. If you don’t rotate portrait slides, they’ll be cropped.

cropped slide scan — Example of a cropped scan when portrait slides are not rotated.

This applies to Kodak or Kodak compatible carousels only. For all other carousels or slide trays, stack slides as shown on the 35mm slide prep page.
