Hello everyone,
I have been rummaging through my parents' photos and came across thousands and thousands of photo slides which my parents took in the
1980s and 1990s. There are some absolutely amazing photos from when we lived in South Africa - most of them are simply brochure perfect, with the detail and composition and the atmosphere they convey - you almost feel you are right there just by looking at the slides! And the slides from the game parks are so unique - for example, there are photos of a herd of elephants crossing right in front of our car or hippos having a mud bath right next to the car!Of course, these slides have been forgotten for years and I wonder how often somebody looks at them now. (Probably nobody in the last ten years...) So I have an idea of converting them to photos and making into scrapbook albums.
Does anyone know anything about scanning slides? I am vaguely aware it is possible to do but I am not sure how well the photos come out. Also, because of the quantity, I would prefer to do this myself - I get an idea it would be pricey to get them all converted professionally...
Thank you for all your help, Klara
