Why Do You Need to Convert Your 35mm Slides and Film Negatives?
First, you might be wondering why you should convert your 35mm slides and film negatives to a digital format in the first place.
If your film and slides are not properly stored through long-term storage methods, they can begin to degrade, making it difficult to produce new prints.
By converting your 35mm film negatives and 35mm slides to a digital format, you are backing up and securing those images to prevent any future losses, whether due to degradation over time or loss to disaster.
The Conversion Process Itself: How Does it Happen?
The process for converting 35mm film to digital professionally with our 35mm film negative scanning works through a specialized piece of scanning equipment, that functions in a manner similar to a flatbed scanner.
The film negatives are fed into our machine, which illuminates the negative in a process similar to print making, and then captures that image and converts it to a positive image in a digital file format. This digital file is then saved onto a flash drive so that you can easily save, edit, and share your photos when you want to.
35mm slides are processed through a different machine that illuminates the image in a different way. The resulting image is a high quality 24 megapixels (6000×4000) digital file.
Once the process is finished, you will receive the digital images, as well as the original film negatives or slides for safekeeping.
That way, you know that you have intact memories that you can still view and make prints from whenever you want. If you misplace the files or need another copy simply contact us and we will still have it.
