There are basically three ways to scan slides to digital images. Slide Duplicator, scan them yourself with a film scanner or a slide scanning service.

A slide duplicator is a device that attaches to your digital camera’s lens mounts. It allows you to crop in the center and all four sides. When you are finished cropping, your are ready to “digitize” your slides. However, the bad part of the slide duplicator is that it’s not that fast. Sure, it’s ok if you have just a few slides, but if you have hundreds, it can pump out around five slides per minute if you know what you are doing. Also, if you are using anything other than a monitor to view the slides, you will lose some sharpness.

The second one is that you can scan your slides with film scanners. These type of slide scanners has great resolution and can come bundled with Photoshop. I love Photoshop and it can really do a good job cleaning or altering your images. However, the down side of the film scanner (and Photoshop) is if you are on a budget and if you only use it once, it really isn’t worth it. You might go with another plan.

Photo Scanning Services will save you a lot of time and can be finished digitizing your slides in a timely fashion. The companies that convert slides to images are done by professionals and will make your pictures look like it was taken yesterday. On your part, you just need to fill out an order form and send in the slides to the company of your choice. Prices vary and you may want to get online to see what kind of reputations the companies have.
