I dug through some old slides I had, took them to the local camera shop and had them digitalized. They charged me $0.75 per slide. I thought that was rather steep, but I only had 15 scanned. I used the local camera shop, as I didn’t want to risk sending them through the mail or UPS.
This was an experiment to see, when I get some more done, what parameters I should use.
I had the scanned as Tiff’s. I used this format, as there is no losses with it. However, I told them to make the photo’s about four mega pixels. It turns out that Tiff’s are a lot larger than Jpeg’s. That means I didn’t get nearly the resolution I wanted.
I was disappointed with the color. Now the slides are about 40 years old and perhaps they have aged. I found the colors cold and the photo’s had a lot of contrast.
I used the software to warm up the colors and soften the contrast. But I’m not expert at this so my results leave something to be desired.
Here’s the link to view them. Look and tell me what you think.
