A ballpark slide scanning price for hundreds of thousands of slides would be around 15 cents, give or take a few cents. Smaller volumes can 3-4 times that price. Optional indexing parameters may add to that price.
Why convert slides to digital images?
1) Allows you to retrieve instantly specific photos on your computer screen instead of hunting and searching for them.
2) Enables you to share images with friends, family, the public, or clients via internet, e-mail, FTP, CDs, or DVDs.
3) Print. Questions: how to print a slide? Answer: get it digitized.
4) Emergency backup. Natural disasters, floods, fires, and burglaries could wipe out your slide collection. Don't wait for a disaster- be proactive and archive your slides before you lose the opportunity.
What are slide scanning formats? Color JPEGs is the most common format. Other common formats include TIFF, PDF, and PNG.
Slides can be named by handwriting or typed information located on their white borders. The actual files may contain this information or be inside a spreadsheet, database, or text file.
