Slide & Negative Scanning
Lakeside Camera Photoworks is your memory preservation expert. We’re in it for the memories!
Slide Scans
35 mm slide shows were one of the most popular ways to enjoy pictures in the 1960’s and 1970’s. If you have a projector that works, you’ll have a lot of fun viewing your slide the old fashioned way. If you don’t have access to a projector or if you want to share and enjoy your slides on today’s digital devices, bring your slides to Lakeside Camera Photoworks.
Good news is that those classic slide trays double as great storage devices for slides- assuming you don’t have your trays in your attic or garage. The not so good news is that not all slides age well. The type of slide film used, the quality of the processing and the environment the slides have been stored in all influence the stability of the images. The best option you have for preserving your slides, prints and negatives is to make digital copies of them now.

Negative Scans
Our standard resolution scans from 35 mm negatives will deliver a jpeg file whose size is around 6 megabytes when opened. These scans are made on our commercial scanning device, then each slide/negative is color and contrast corrected by the technician operating the scanner. The digital files we return to you are perfect for sharing your pictures digitally, making new prints, for inclusion in video and presentation projects and as digital backups.
Additionally, we offer a super-resolution scanning option. These images are corrected to the same standards as our regular resolution scans. The super resolution option will deliver a jpeg file whose size is around 24 megabytes when opened. This is the best option to produce large prints 16"×20" and above. The difference between a standard resolution file and a super-resolution file has nothing to do with the quality of the scan but exists only in the size of the file we deliver. Because the super-resolution scans take three times as long to complete, the charge is higher than the standard resolution scans.
As in any photographic process, the digital files from our scans will only be as good as your original.
