What type of slide film can you scan? |
We scan virtually every type of slide film ever created. If you have
something really strange, our engineers will figure out a way to get it
digitized.

What type of equipment do you use?
|
We use the Nikon
Super Coolscan 9000 with DigitalICE Pro exclusively for slides and specialty film like Medium Format.
Other services charge several dollars per scan for scanning slides on this
machine but we provide these scans at prices competitive to or even lower than
those using the less capable Nikon 5000 scanners. It's a significant
upgrade you'll only get at digmypics. Learn more about
the Nikon 9000 vs the Nikon 5000.

Can you make my slides look better?
|
Absolutely! This is where your pictures will really benefit from our
professional photographers and artists.
We do manual color and exposure correction to each individual image. Using
Adobe Photoshop, we can do a lot to improve color problems and fading.

samples of our work!

Can you scan glass mounted slides?
|
For slides in 2"x2" glass mounts, we recommend removing the film from the glass mount and remounting it in a
cardboard or plastic slide mount for the best quality image. If your slides are 35mm slides we offer the service of
removing the film from the glass and remounting it into cardboard mounts. The charge to remove and remount each slide is just $1.25.

What can I ship my slides in?
|
You can send your slides to us in Carousels, Slide Trays, Slide Boxes,
Slide Preserver sleeves, anything that will keep your slides organized and
protected during shipment. See our shipping
tips.
You can place your slides in handi-wrap or Reynolds wrap boxes, they are a
perfect fit for slides. You can indicate the beginnings of slide groupings by using mini post-it notes to label the start of a group. To
maintain our low pricing please try to keep your groups to at least 30 photos.
For groups that are consistently below 30 we charge a handling fee of $1.99 per
small group. We will
return your slides in the original packaging or organized in one of the
archival
storage products we offer on our site.
Airequipt Trays: (a type of tray that requires each individual
slide be in a removable metal sleeve) If your slides are in these metal sleeves,
please remove the slide from the metal sleeves before sending them in.
Otherwise, we will remove the slides from the sleeves for you. We simply
charge a $0.10/slide fee for this and we do not return the slides to the metal
sleeves.

What if they have a copyright symbol?
|
If your
slides have a copyright symbol we can scan them if permission is granted
by the copyright owner, or if you agree to sign a waiver that you will only be using
the disc we make as a backup of the material you legally own and not for resale
or other commercial purposes. Download our Copyright Waiver PDF,
