Colour Slide Scanning, By HandYour slides are in jeopardy. Minute by minute, even in the dark, they are changing color, scratching, and possibly developing fungal stains. Slide scanning with Scanext can save them:

We scan 35mm, 110, 126, 127, and 120 slides; and medium and large format transparencies.

Handcrafted quality
Chances are, your old slides are some of the most precious things you have. So when you send them off to a slide scanning service, you expect them to be treated carefully. At Scanext, we understand that. We never run them through some automated correction process, where a piece of software guesses its way through a batch of your most important memories. Yet with most services, that happens all the time.
We think there's a better way. We think that every single slide you send us should be examined by a highly trained technician with a good eye and a terrific set of hands. That's why we've designed our service from the ground up around the idea of a technician individually processing and correcting your slides as needed. This way, you don't have to make a hard choice between being able to afford to preserve all your memories, and being able to preserve them well. At Scanext, you can do both.

Individual image adjustments
Converting slides to digital images is just one part of our slide scanning service at Scanext. Every slide we receive requires some correction for the effects of time, since color slides inevitably shift color and scratch over time (unless you've stored them in archival-quality, subzero conditions). For every slide we receive, we will manually perform:
- Re-orientation
- Cropping
- Scratch and dust removal
- Color correction
- Red-eye removal
- Other minor damage
In short, for our standard level of slide scanning service, a technician will spend approximately four minutes per slide addressing all of the problems above, and then some. In our experience scanning millions of slides, this produces amazing quality almost all of the time, for just pennies per image. (Some slides may be so damaged they require our photo restoration service, but that's relatively rare).
