Inherited a ton of slides and don’t know what to do with them? No problem! Bring in your old slides and we’ll turn them all into modern day digital files so they can be enjoyed once again.
35mm slides are considered standard.
All other sizes are considered non-standard (for example: 110, 126 and 120 slides) and additional charges apply. Slides are scanned with an air cleaning process; however, lint, dust and scratches are common on stored slides. 35mm slide scans are approximately 4496×3000 pixels in size. Upgrade options with higher resolution scans are available upon request. For additional technical questions, please give us a call at 865-584-4554.
Which side is the front?
Typically, you can tell which is the front side of a slide, because it will either have a date or a number printed on it. The back of the slide will typically have the processor’s mark (such as Kodak or Kodachrome). If you encounter a slide that says “this side toward screen,” that is the back side of the slide. If there are no markings at all, the shiny emulsion side is the front and the dull side is the back.
For the easy going:
Want your slides scanned but not too picky about organizing?
Bring them in! We will organize your slides by the carousel that they are in and give them a label.
For the moderately organized:
Know generally what is in each carousel?
Leave us a sticky note on the box or inside the carousel with a short description. For example, if you note “1975 – Grand Canyon and Yosemite,” we will make that the name for that carousel.
For the super organized:
Have lots of different events in one carousel? Want to label all of them?
Put a sticky note on each carousel and label it “Carousel #1,” and so forth.
On a separate piece of paper, make a master list with a description of what each slide or carousel contains. After the slides are processed, you can rename and reorganize them into as many folders as you need.
We never recommend shipping away family archives, treasured photos and irreplaceable home movies. It’s too risky. Fleetwood Photo has been professionally preserving memories for over 30 years.
