Do It Yourself 35mm Slide Scanning?

You are not going to get the quality that we provide if you just buy an inexpensive scanner from Best Buy or Circuit City. They do have very liberal return policies if you want to give them a try. Personally, I can't see anyone that has been using 35mm slides because they love the color and the clarity of the slide, being satisfied with the low quality transition that you get from inexpensive scanners. Be sure to check the details in the shadow areas. Low quality 35mm scans just plug in completely and lose all details.

If you would like to send us ten of your 35mm slides, we can do a free test for you so that you can see what our quality is like. That way you will know what you are going to get from our scanning service. We want our customers to be happy with our product. Pick some of your really good ones and some of your really bad ones and see what we can do with them.

I think that you will find that we can do a much better job than you can do yourself even if you had the same equipment. Our Photoshop® guru has eleven years of 'on the job' experience so that he can do any color tweaking, trying to achieve pleasing color in each scan, where it is possible.

If you went to all the trouble to capture your precious memories onto 35mm slides with the beautiful color and detail that 35mm slides will give you, why would you settle for an inferior conversion to digital format?
