The consequences of not digitizing your slides and negatives
-
Framed slides attract dust and become dull over time
-
Films, negatives, and the like can develop a color cast
- Under poor storage conditions, films, slides, and the like can also develop mold or be irretrievably destroyed
- Over time, the images lose their color and fade
New life for your old treasures
Slides and negatives aren’t just real space hogs, they’re also not particularly practical. Let us show you why it makes sense to digitize your photos and Schnappschüsse:
-
Create as many backup copies as your heart desires!
- Take your slides with you everywhere & share them around the world— share your memories with your family, no matter where they are!
- Image editing is possible!
- Have photos reprinted and give away great photo gifts
- A new look for your masterpieces: Printed on aluminum Dibond or on canvas?
- Easier && faster sorting by: year, location, people, etc.
- Gain storage space
