Slides to Digital media

[Weldingblues]

Hi,
I have a friend who has asked about converting lots of slides to a digital format, so can anybody recommend a good firm to carry out this work.

Regards

Most of us do our own on a variety of devices from flatbed scanners to dedicated slide scanners. It's a tedious task but quite expensive to get done by any of the reputable companies. A lot depends on what your final viewing requirements are, if you just want to be able to publish them on social media sites then low res scans will suffice but if you want to enlarge them to 30x20" prints then something a little more detailed will be required.

Be warned it is a tedious and drawn out process, but if you do it with a semi-automated scanner then it's not too bad as you can get on with your life whilst it's doing its thing.

Treasured Memories usually gets good reviews and they use the right equipment for the job (Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED - one of the best scanners ever without going to a drumscan or Hasselblad Flextight).
