About Slide Scanning

Slide scanning

We offer a wide range of Slide film scanning from the common 35mm through to 127 super. Due to the small size of film in comparison to a photo, higher resolutions are required to provide the same results.



We use Epson V700 and V800 and Powerslide 5000 scanners to achieve the great results that our customers are expecting. The service includes a gentle air brush to remove loose dust, before scanning.



The service also includes Silverfast iSRD dust and scratch removal, correct orientation, auto colour and sharpness optimisation. Pricing starts at $1.40 per slide at 2400DPi.

Silverfast iSRD

Slides and negatives always have small dust particles and tiny scratches on them, even when handled very carefully. Removing them one-by-one takes a tremendous amount of time, since often hundreds or thousands of small defects (dust grains or lint) are found on the original image, which only become visible after digitisation. LaserSoft Imaging has developed a reliable solution to this problem.

Infrared light has a very wide wave-length, which allows it to pass through film emulsion of negatives and slides without resistance, as opposed to scratches and dust particles that reflect it. iSRD utilises this behavior as follows. The image is scanned two times – the first is the regular RGB scan and the second is the additional infrared scan that captures defects like dust and scratches only. Then the calculative dust and scratch removal takes effect, only where the infrared channel has detected any defects without losing any important details.

What Scanning Resolution Is Right For Me?

2400DPI

Standard Resolution

2400 dpi is perfect for slideshows, TV,  mobile devices, social media and small prints.

3600DPI

High Resolution

3600 dpi is great for photo books, limited editing (zoom and crop) and will print to nearly A4 size from a 6×4 scan.

4800DPI

Ultra High Resolution

4800 dpi will provide advanced editing and print to print to nearly A3 size from a 6X4 scan.
