Handled one at a time
If you send your slides in carousels, magazines or other holders we remove your slides one at a time,
process it and replace it back into the holder just as it was (unless you want your carousels or other
holders discarded). We do not use mechanical feeders. Your slides are handled carefully, by hand,
one at a time.
Color and exposure adjustments
An Adobe Photoshop expert will adjust color balance, exposure and contrast. Experience is crucial.
While we can't perform miracles we can usually improve the overall appearance of the image.

Surface Dust
Slides are dust magnets! Depending on where and how your slides were stored they may have very
little dust on them or they may be very dusty. Dust appears as black spots when the image is
displayed. Every slide we process is cleaned with a Kinetronics StaticVac©. By doing this most
surface dust particles are removed but inevitably some dust will remain. Fortunately viewing even fairly
dusty slides as a slide show on a TV or computer isn't a serious problem. The dust is no more
intrusive than if you viewed the slide using a slide projector. For images you want to make prints from
you can, if desired, use a photo editor to remove any dust and scratch flaws that we missed before
making prints.
Cropping
Slide images are cropped as shown below:

DATA folder
All slide images are stored as low compression (high quality) JPG files in a data folder on the DVD for
access through a computer. Within the DATA folder each chapter/group of slide images are grouped
into individual folders so it is easy to locate a particular image. Average file size from a 35mm slide is
about 2mb.
Printing
The size print that can be made using the jpg we create is dependant upon the size of the slide. The
table below lists the 4 size slides we accept and the largest size print that can be made from the jpg
when printed at 300dpi (photo quality).

Many people have some 127 superslides in their slide collection. This is a common size for slides
sold in gift shops. We do accept these slides but we will crop the image down to the size of a 35mm
slide.
