Stacking Your Slide Stacks with slide facing down.
We want to show you two different ways to get your slides stacked, organized and oriented correctly for scanning. This is a confusing subject for many people so we hope that this helps.
Our examples on this page will cover building your stack first slide Down. You start with the very FIRST slide in each "show" or "chapter" and build your stack up. The top slide will be the LAST slide in the "show" or "chapter".
Determine Front and Back Of Slides
We know this is a confusing part of your slide organization. We have been dealing with since 2002 and we keep trying to find a perfect way to help people get past this problem. For the sake of standardizing this, the side of the slide with the "LOGO" will be referred to as the "FRONT" of the slide. If you hold the slide up to the light and you can see a sign in the picture, the text will read "BACKWARDS". Now please don't get hung up on this. We are going to get your slide scans all reading correctly when you view them on your TV or computer or you make prints. It is just that it is better if we all are seeing things the same way. I can't tell you how many people do their organizing just the opposite of what we need. Don't over-think this. Just please give us what we need. But, if you have a problem with this, we will take care of you just the same.

The person taking the picture may have turned the camera on it's side to take a "portrait" type picture. ALL of these "PORTRAIT" type slides need to be rotated, in the stacks, to be in the "LANDSCAPE" orientation. This will mean that ALL slides are in "Landscape" orientation regardless of how the picture was taken. Please don't worry about this. We are going to get your final scans to VIEW CORRECTLY. We just need these to be rotated so that they will scan correctly. We rotate the final image to view correctly. (Note: a portrait slide does not have to have a person in the picture. The term "portrait" simply refers to the camera being turned sideways when the picture was taken.

Flip the slide over and place it down on top of slide #1, with the bottom of slide #2 UP.

"THIS SIDE TOWARDS SCREEN" is the FRONT of the slide.
|
Flip it and Put it down on top of the stack.
|
Now grab the stack from the top of the pile and turn it UP.  |
The #1 slide is now on the top and your stack is all in order. Put your stack identifier on the top and put rubber bands around the slide stack.  |
Waxed paper boxes, Aluminum Foil boxes, Plastic Baggie boxes, and many other types of boxes are the ideal size for keeping your slides organized, after stacking. If you use this method, you do not have to use rubber bands to separate your stacks or "shows" or "chapters". You can use a divider that is clearly marked. To assure proper order in your slide show, you should also NUMBER EACH SLIDE. The numbering for EACH CHAPTER should start from #1. In other words, chapter #1 might have 45 slides in it. The numbering would go from #1 to #45. Then in chapter #2, which has 32 slides, the numbering would start with #1 and go through #32. And so on.
