Digital Slide Converter

If you come from the time when all you needed was some film and your manual camera, then you probably still have some of the old 35mm slides and film negatives from those days. You might be wondering what you can do to keep these pictures safe, even if you don’t have to prints.

Well now you don’t have to worry about those pictures becoming damaged beyond recognition, because you can keep them safe by digitalizing them with a 35mm digital slide converter.

Digital slide converters, also known as digital slide scanners, are able to read the images placed on slides and negatives, and convert them into digital images, which are in their original color and of good quality.

All you need to do is plug it into your computer using a USB port and you can immediately start making sure those memories don’t get lost or yellowed by age.

Many digital slide converters have a 5MP CMOS sensor which helps them read the images, and they can scan in images that are as big as 1839 dpi, and with 10 bits per color channel as well.

You can even display the digital images using digital photo frames so they are just like pictures that are printed out, but they won’t get ripped or torn. Most 35 mm digital slide converters usually come with their own editing software as well, so you can cut or change the colors or the look as a whole of your pictures as much as you want.

Now, you can store all of the pictures you took from the good old days like your grandparent’s wedding or your mother’s graduation, and store them in your computer looking like they were just taken yesterday, all thanks to the ability to convert your slides to digital images.

Convert 35mm Slides to Digital Images

Even if you don’t have a lot of old picture slides, but you have a manual camera and would still like to continue using it without having to pay for prints all the time, then a digital slide converter could work for you. It might be expensive at first, but in the end it will be worth the price considering how much you saved on printing and on renewing old pictures.

There are other ways to convert slides into digital images, such as taking pictures of projections from slides with a digital camera, or having the pictures printed and scanning them in. But these methods are quite tiresome and take a lot more time than a digital slide converter would. A slide viewer used to be sufficient for most people for periodic slide viewing, but with the improvement in technology, there is no need to settle for that anymore.

You can find lots of different models and brands of digital slide converters online, with prices ranging from under $100 to over $300 dollars. If this is out of your price range, then you should opt to get a used one, which is relatively cheaper. We discuss one specific option, the versatile Epson Perfection V300 converter, on the next page, and a Wolverine model is presented in the video above.

So if you’d like to go and get those dusty old film negatives which don’t have any copies, or which only have one print out, and make them so you can view them at any time without worrying about their quality or condition, then you should get a digital slide converter for your convenience. Ensure future generations will be able to enjoy these pictures.
