tamthebam Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 bought a cheap negative/slide scanner the other day and thought I would try it out with a mystery packet of slides that have been kept in a drawer for decades. They date from 1972/73 (very young bam is in some of them) and have faded unfortunately. If I had the patience I would feck about with photoshop adjusting them but here they are: 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the patience I would feck about with photoshop adjusting them but here they are: We've got hundreds, maybe thousands of the things, and I found the firm linked below. They'll do a sample of 5 slides for free, including improving damaged or faded ones if you ask. Here's a bit from the email they sent with the digital copies: Quote Sample number 3 was colour damaged due to some fungal spots, we made some adjustments which were very strictly in line with what we would do for pictures as part of normal order; It would be easy to fully restore an individual sample picture to give an unfair impression so we always avoid doing this! So picture 3 is improved but certainly not perfect. If you had a “must have” image we’d certainly be happy to restore it for you. https://theslideconverter.co.uk/ This was back in 2021, haven't quite got round to sorting out the rest of the slides for posting to them.. The samples came out really well. Edited February 17, 2023 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film holder only takes 35 mil negatives too which is a bit annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different size, colour and style though, just depended on what the shoe shop had on the rack outside. Probably both the same foot, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
