Slide scanning does not have to be scary or difficult.
Many people in Lethbridge and southern Alberta think quality slide scanning is too costly, or that it is not even possible. Before tossing their old slides and negatives, they stop in to see if I could possibly do it. Once they see the stunning scans and prints I produce, they’re amazed at both the quality and affordability.
Slides scanning – clearing up the confusion
Beware of discount, drug store or department store scanning services! Many ship your memories across the country, or even overseas. Others operate from damp basements. Most skip dusting, color correction, and proper resolution. The result? Poor-quality scans that ruin your photos and memories.
I have OVER 40 years experience working for individuals, families, museums & businesses ACROSS CANADA!
Slide Scanning – There is an APP for that – NOT A GOOD ONE!!!
Yes, there’s an app for scanning slides – but the quality is extremely poor.
Backlighting issues cause distortion and artifacts, making the files useless for printing or archiving. Worst of all, some people scan with an app and then throw away their slides, only to discover too late how bad the files are.
Our professional scans preserve every detail and are high enough quality for prints up to 24×36 inches.

Prints from slides
If you want prints from your slides and not just your slides digitized I am able to do that as well. I run a full service photo lab with the best available quality in photo printing from wallets to 24″x60″.

Memory Slide Show
I also offer a memory making service that takes your old photographs and puts them onto a USB, along with information about the photos. This way all your memories are categorized with the story.
What a great way to not only preserve the photos, slides or negatives but the story behind each photo. In addition to having the photos and the story, The USB acts as a digital negative, so if anything should ever happen to the originals you can print from the digital negatives and replace the lost photos.
As each project is different please call for a price and to discuss your memory slide show.
