SLIDES & NEGATIVES COPIED & TRANSFERRED TO USB, DVD, CD

35mm slide scanning, negative scanning & copying service. Service includes individual digital image cleaning by hand and eye.

Transfer your slides & negatives onto a USB flash drive as beautiful digital images. Our Chelmsford, Essex-based slide scanning service really is second to none offering you the personal, human touch rather than anonymous bulk machine scanning.

Slide to Digital can also transfer your precious images to a DVD or CD, but a USB is the modern more efficient approach allowing you to easily manage your images.

Slide to Digital has been successfully carrying out 35mm slide and negative copying and scanning for both small and large companies and private individuals for more than a decade.

No job is too small or too big - larger jobs just take longer!

Images are scanned & copied then transferred into Photoshop to be individually enhanced and corrected to remove blemishes and dust particles.

Free collection & delivery in the immediate Chelmsford area (small packages only).

Your image is then expertly corrected & enhanced to bring out the natural feel & vibrancy of the original image, we then transfer to CD or DVD preserving your 35mm slide transparencies and negatives as digital photographs.

We have a longstanding love for photography and especially, traditional film & slide photography. The quality of image that 35mm slide transparency film, such as Velvia 50, can produce is unrivalled.

If you have 35mm slides or negatives that have been hiding in the bottom of a drawer, or maybe boxes of slides that have been inherited, let Slide to Digital bring them back to glorious life on your computer, tablet or TV screen.


If you wish to post your VHS tapes, head over to the contact page to find our delivery address. We are Chelmsford based. In the case of posted items, return postage cost will be added to your order invoice.



DUST & SCRATCH REMOVAL

A 35mm slide or negative is only about an inch squared in size, and will have attracted minute specs of dust that are unable to be seen clearly with the naked eye. Blowing the slide up effectively magnifies the fingerprints, dirt and dust as well as the image, and so small specs, scratches or other anomalies can become significant. This image is a zoomed in segment of a larger image to show the dirt and dust particles clearly.


Drag the slider to view the before and after results of image enhancement, processing and cleaning.

The digital image above is an (approximately) one eighth segment of an original scanned full size 35mm slide - in other words, a very small segment blown up. You can see the minute dust specs, mould and blemishes that have gathered and formed over time by using the slider to reveal the before and after image.

NO HIDDEN COSTS & NO DISAPPOINTMENT IN QUALITY

Companies offering to scan your slides or negatives for a few pence are most likely offering just a basic slide scanning service minus any slide or negative cleaning and enhancement & digital dust and scratch removal. Very few scanned slides or negatives can get away without any digital cleaning - have a look at the example below.

  • Remember, when a slide or negative is enlarged, then dust, dirt and fingerprints are enlarged too.
  • Slide to Digital will correct this.

All our dust and scratch removal processes & enhancements are completed in Photoshop 'by hand' - this is not an automated mechanical process at Slide to Digital - we take pride in making your pictures look as good as we possibly can!

Cost for all this is just 50p per slide which includes dust removal and scratch removal and a certain amount of digital enhancement to capture the original vibrance of the slide. You can send as many or as few as you please, we enjoy our work!
