Slide Scanning World provides a complete 35mm slide scanning service.

What are the reasons for scanning?

Scanned images stored on disc are easy to view and share on televisions - using a compatible DVD player, or on computers. The images can also be backed up and stored in a secure location. Discs also take up a lot less space than the original slides or photos.

The images can be used for presentations, slide show-photo albums, in digital photo frames, as printed pictures in books, as posters etc. By using compressed images they can be transmitted across the internet in e-mails.

Our standards and pricing policy

We include image rotation, cropping, colour correction and digital ICE for minor dust and scratch removal as standard. Our scanning resolution for slides is now 2800 dpi saved as high quality Jpeg images of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 Mb. We also scan to different resolutions and formats by request.  

Our pricing policy is based on resolution and quality.

What if I do this myself?

Scanning equipment is available in the shops and can provide simple to high quality scanning outputs. Needless to say the more you pay, the better your scanning capability. The editing and colour adjustment also requires some skill. There are several websites which provide wealth of information, and we are always happy to discuss equipment and projects with you.

Why slide scanning world?

Slide Scanning World scans your slides economically. You do not have the hassle of buying equipment and learning to use it. We are also able to perform the conversion in a relatively short timescale. Our customers will tell you we do not push scans through as fast as possible, we take our time to give you the best results for your money. Each image is scanned rotated, cropped and colour adjusted as required. In our two labs we use Nikon and Epson equipment connected to Apple computers for image manipulation and PC’s for image capture, burning discs and printing covers to give you the best results.

Of course we have a lot of competition but we feel confident that we provide the edge. An excellent reference is Scan Guru - http://scanguru.info/en/find-a-scanning-service/. Here you will find companies listed both in the UK and from throughout the World. Another excellent site reviewing scanning impartially is: http://www.andromeda.com photo slide-transfer  well worth a visit.
