What can I use my digital images for?

Once you have your 35mm slides digitised you'll find there are many, many new uses for them. You can copy them and share them with as many people as you wish, you can print them and display them or give them as gifts.

And when you are in the digital world, sharing with family across the globe is as simple as clicking a mouse. Your digital images can be emailed to far off loved ones or you might want to create your own web based photo gallery.

You might also want to display your photos in a digital picture frame which will scroll through your photos automatically.

There are also services that will create a proper printed book from your digitised images; or you can have one or any of your digital images recreated in a popart style.

If you have a special image you can have it recreated as a poster or even have it transfered to canvas at huge sizes.

Transfer your digital images to your PC and you can have them display as a slideshow screensaver whenever your PC is idle.

Do slide-scanner.co.uk batch scan?

We don't batch scan. Never. Many companies will simply batch scan your images on a standard setting. We have found that the results from automating functions are unacceptable. We treat each scan as an individual... it takes longer but the results are much, much better.

Why do I need TIFF and JPG files?

Well, strictly speaking, you don't. We scan in TIFF format and then we convert to JPEG with 100% quality compression. Some services will simply provide you with the JPEG files but we like to give you the flexibility of having both TIFF and JPEG. If you want to edit your images at a future date then you need TIFF files which retain all the information from the original scan. JPEG files are a lossy format - much smaller file sizes ideal for on screen viewing, web and email use - but of a lower quality. You can of course ask to only have the JPG files, which will, if you have a lot of images, reduce the number of DVDs you require.
