Arm Posted August 24, 2015 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
XTR2Turbo Posted August 24, 2015 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
Blatman Posted August 25, 2015 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
dombanks Posted August 25, 2015 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
Captain Colonial Posted August 25, 2015 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. Quote
tisme Posted August 25, 2015 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
