Choose Process
One of the best ways to describe our Slide transfer processes is to imagine that you can compare the original slide to the scanned digital image produced from each process side by side. For example, let's say that you ordered the Silver process. Upon receiving the scanned images, you pull out your projector to compare the slide to the scanned image. In the first row of the table below, the slide is being projected onto the screen and the TV on the right is showing the digital image from the Silver process. This is very typical of a low-end slide transfer service.
Now, look at the pictures from the Gold & Platinum, and you can see how much better the image can look because of advances in slide transfer and restoration technology.

SilverThe Silver 2000 DPI scanned image will be 50% less quality (detail) than how the 35mm slide looks today. The slide has a maximum resolution of about 4000 DPI and has degraded since it was originally taken. This process is intended for the customer that generally want a low-cost scan of their slides for a DVD TV slide show. The Silver process does not include any restoration. |
 |
GoldThe Gold 3000 DPI scanned image will be 25% less quality (detail) than how the 35mm slide looks today. Includes Automatic Digital ROC (color, contrast) restoration. This process is intended for the customer that generally wants prints of their slides (up to a 5x7) and/or a better quality DVD TV slide show. |
 |
PlatinumThe Platinum 4000 DPI scanned image will be the best possible result from the 35mm slide. The Platinum process includes Manual color and contrast restoration. This process is intended for the customer that wants the very best quality for prints of their slides (up to a 10x14) and/or the best quality DVD TV slide show. |
* Quality of restoration is dependent upon condition of existing slide stock; severely deteriorated original materials may be beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated restoration methods.
