Photo Forever is a major, innovative player in the management of personal and company slide archives.
Our know-how
Scanning slides:
- Size of slides accepted: 5 x 5 cm
- Professional scanners used.
- Colorimetric correction of scanned slides to improve colour rendition and reduce the effects of time.
- The optimising of contrast and exposure to make images more suitable for viewing on a computer or TV screen (contrast and exposure are set initially for projection on to a screen using a high intensity lamp).
Transfer to DVD:
- Transfer of a high-definition, JPEG format photo file for use on computers (archiving, viewing, retouching using software) and suitable as a printing source (including enlargement up to A4 size).
- Transfer of the same JPEG photo files in low definition for quick and easy use on the internet (sending by mail, putting on an internet site) or viewing on a DVD player connected to a television.
- Free: a slide show of your photos in DVD Video format for quick and easy viewing on your TV (for this the DVD containing your photos must be inserted into your dedicated DVD player).
Viewing your slides in your own personal space on the Internet:
Once scanned, your slides may be viewed as a slide show in your personal secure space on www.photoforever.com ("my account" heading). You will be advised your identifier (login) and password when your slides have been scanned.
