What is the cost to scan and digitize my 35mm slides?

Digitization of standard 35mm slides: $0.45 each, choice of JPG or TIF or PNG file output. Files returned on data disc, or on provided or purchased flash drive, or via the web.

If a video slideshow is ordered, the cost is an extra $0.20 (20 cents) per slide, and we will include an onscreen title and unlicensed background music. Custom background music can be ordered for $20. Each slide image appears for 7 seconds before moving to the next slide. Video slideshows can be returned on video DVD, video Blu-ray Disc, or as data files via storage media or web download. Extra copies of a DVD or Blu-ray Disc are $15 each. An Extra Copy, but in a different format, such as a Blu-ray Disc or data file would be $25.

Slides are cleaned with compressed air and/or lint free cloth before scanning. After scanning, we correct slide image orientation and cropping before placing images on final storage media. If wanting the extra editing of advanced dust and scratch removal and color correction, there is an extra charge of $0.20 per slide.
