35MM SCANS (Scroll down for Product Listing)

When was the last time you even had the opportunity to view your slides and film that have been sitting in slide trays and shoe boxes in the closet?  You went to all the trouble to capture your precious memories onto 35mm slides or negatives with the exceptional color and detail that 35mm film format gives you, why would you settle for an inferior conversion process when moving to digital format.

 

MPV provides a professional slide scanning service for your 35mm slides and negatives using the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED film scanner.  This is a dedicated 35mm slide and negative scanner and will perform scans from 1000 through 4000 DPI.

 

We use Digital ICE™ technology that can removes surface defects, such as dust and scratches, from the scanned image. Digital ICE™ differentiates itself from software-only solutions because it does not soften, blur or otherwise alter any underlying details or composition of the original image. The Digital ICE™ technology works from within the scanner, during the scanning process, to provide users with a clear, authentic base image that improves the original image.  Using Digital ROC we can automatically restores original color quality to digital images regardless of the condition of the original. Digital ROC's™ using a complex set of proprietary algorithms reads the dye signature in color slides and restores colors to the appropriate levels.  To digitize your slides to high quality JPEG or TIFF files, we charge between $0.30 to $0.60 per 35mm slide, depending on the resolution required and quantity. The scan cost is based on time required to perform each scan.

Resolution selection really depends on how you plan to use the scanned image.  If you are going to backup your 35mm slide collection or doing a DVD Slideshow, go with the JPG file format using 1000 - 2000 DPI, they are considerably smaller and should satisfy your needs.   As you can see, TIFF files are quite large, especially in the higher resolutions.  If you need true archive or near-archive quality, I would consider using the 2000 or 3000 DPI resolution.  If you absolutely want the TIFF 3000-4000 DPI scans, we recommend storage to a high capacity Hard Drive.  

Once your slides have been digitized, we can also produce a wonderful DVD slideshow from your JPEG slides for as low as $30.00 per DVD disc. See DVD Slide Show for details.
