Why should I convert my 35mm slides to digital ? The most compelling reason is to archive via slide scanning and preserve your important 35mm slides. Once in digital form using digital imaging, you have all these new options;
  • You can make a perfect copy every time from the digital slide. 
  • You can easily share images with family and friends. 
  • Turn your 35mm slides into a video or slide show using digital imaging. View your digital slide on either your pc or television.
  • Order reprints and enlargements online of you photo slide.
What is the process of scanning 35mm slides to a digital slide ?  Our technicians use state of the art equipment to professionally scan your 35mm slides and convert to a digital format. These digital images are then copied to either a CD-R or DVD disk depending on your preference. All slide scanning orders include a color thumbnail of all images for easy identification.
What digital imaging format option do you recommend ?  Our scanning service recommendation is the JPEG format. JPEG is superior to GIF for storing full-color or gray-scale images of "realistic" scenes, that means scanned photographs, continuous-tone artwork, and similar material. Any smooth variation in color, such as occurs in highlighted or shaded areas, will be represented more faithfully and in less space by JPEG. Some customers prefer TIFF or other formats for specific reasons. We can provide whatever digital slide format you need.
What resolution do you recommend for scanning 35mm photo slides to digital slides ? The majority of our customers select 1800 dpi for digital imaging 35mm slides. This resolution gives you excellent viewing quality on a television or PC monitor and color prints can be reproduced with great results. Slide scanning resolutions can be as high as 3800 dpi with special pricing.
What digital slide storage options do I have ?  Digital slides can be stored on either CD-R or DVD disks. Be sure to verify that your DVD player supports JPEG image resolutions.
Some of my photo slides are dark, under-exposed or in poor condition. How will slide scanning from those slides look ?  Our process can improve in some cases the quality of under-exposed 35mm slides. However, the most realistic expectation for the 35mm slide scanning process is to preserve the current condition of the photo slide image. Keep in mind, the condition of the photo slide will never get any better when converted using a slide scanning service. Don't wait, convert your 35mm slides to digital ASAP !!
How do you handle shipping charges ? All orders are returned using US Priority Mail. We only charge the actual cost of shipping. See our order section for more information.
How do we pay for this slide scanning service ? Payment can be made by check, money order or COD. Our policy has always been not to require full payment until you receive your order and are completely satisfied. This policy will never change. Treating our customers with respect and professionalism is an integral part of our business philosophy.
What is the process for shipping my photo slides to your labs ? Packaging your 35mm slides is very important. Do the following;
  • Organize your 35mm slides in the correct order and orientation.
  • Secure them in a box with plenty of protection.
  • Print the order form from this site and include in the box.
  • Send an email to SlidestoDigital.com when shipped and include the tracking number.

Our lab was started in 1995 by 3 partners who spent 25 years working for a fortune 50 corporation. The venture was established to leverage their extensive management and business experience with a long time interest in the photographic industry. The prospect of building a small business from the ground up was exciting to say the least. 
Specific goals for the company were developed that continue to guide every aspect of our daily operations.
