BEST CONVERT SLIDES TO DIGITAL SERVICE SOFTWARE
Incidently Vuescan is excellent software to drive old scanners.LegacyBox is a digitizing service that takes your old outdated media and transfers it to a digital format for an easy viewing experience. If using a scanner 2400dpi is minimum I would use. The copy by camera seems to show dirts worse than scanners. In all cases one will need to clean the slide as dirt and other spots will shout at you in a way they never did when projected, so plenty of compressed air cleaner. One needs a good diffused even lightsource behind the slide. Using camera and macro lens - fast and good quality but slow to position slide for photography (must sort this out sometime). Bear in mind a good slide is equivalent to at least a 20m pixel image.įlatbed scanner - epson V70 ok for film but not slides, Canon 8400 excellent scans of film and slides and faster than my old film scanner.įilm and flatbed scanners don't add optical distortion, but there can be problems with colour fringing at the junction of dark and light in the image - for example window frames. The ion "scanners" use a cheap digital camera to photograph the slide, and I leave it to you to work out the distortions and other problems of a high resolution scan using these. Some flatbed scanners try to do the same. Film scanners give excellent results and most use silver fast software (which is not fast) which uses an IR beam in the scanner to detect dirt and scratches and then try to cove them up.
