Photograph and slide scanning helping to keep archived photographs in use
Date: 31/08/2009
Many companies will have old photographs stored away from past projects or publications which have been stored away for the long term and in some case companies also hold hundreds of project related small 35mm slides from the old Kodak cameras. All of these images spend most of their time in a filing cabinet, cupboard or bookshelf. Here we look at how organisations are now having these converted into electronic format for regular viewing on computer screens, presentations, DVD players, phones and large framed prints with the aid of photograph scanning and slide scanning.
Ever since the digital age took over the hard copy photograph has been slowly phased out as the majority of people will use digital cameras and keep any work related photographs on the computers. They are always backed up and can be viewed in a variety of formats depending on the user’s choice. But with historical and past project photographs they are stored away and can be neglected and damaged over time, this also happens with 35mm slides especially when viewing them is a little trickier.
Pearl Scan Solutions have been working with many publication and editorial companies to have these photographs converted to electronic format to be safely archived and used again where necessary. With the aid of photograph and slide scanning they are scanned and output to a detailed electronic format just like today’s pictures, but that isn’t the end of it, as people find they want these photographs used more for larger scale viewing Pearl Scan have small and large batches scanned in and converted into a DVD movie to watch in meetings, presentations or company promotions.
By scanning photographs and slides into electronic format they can be manipulated and enhanced, then put into a slideshow movie format which can then be used on a DVD which anyone can put in their DVD player.
More and more organisations are jumping on-board to convert their old photographs and slides to electronic format to add alongside their current digital pictures and create movies from. As well as photograph intense organisations finding the service useful to clean up their back offices the service is also popular for private collections
