Arm Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi Working through some family slides after the dear old chap passed away. Whats a good way to scan them to the PC ? Could do with a few of the best converting for display at the funeral. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You can buy an adaptor for scanners. Otherwise I am sure some boots stores have a machine where you can do this David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Condolences for your loss. Chairman Scott was doing a lot of picture archiving a while back. He may have some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 There will probably be a local company that would do this for you. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/ion-slidesforever-film-and-slide-scanner-a76lb?gclid=CNiRxtCSxMcCFaPnwgodmuYCoQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My condolences as well for your loss. As above, many scanners will have a slide adapter, but under the circumstances and time costraints, I'd pay a local company to do it for you.

tisme Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sorry about the loss - at a friends funeral a few weeks back they had put together a load of sllides from a mixture of scanned pictures and slides and it looked really good and well thought through. There are a number of tiny scanners that will scan the picture negatives or 35mm slides and convert them to PC JPEG format - ICON is a name that springs to mind and they're really cheap (useful for getting ALL those old photo's and slides onto digital format) - they all connect via USB and can scan 5 or 6 negatives at a go ( jlllllllllllllllllllllll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
