35MM Slide Conversion in Tucson, AZ
View our Prices
In addition to audio and sound recording conversions and digital archiving, Ping Pong Media will transfer your slides to high-resolution images and deliver them to you as JPG and/or TIFF image files on a delivery device of your choice such as USB flash drive or an external USB hard
drive.
We do not use any AI process nor any sort of machine automation to preserve your slides. All slides are manually digitized one-by-one by a person skilled in the fine art of image restoration. Also, they are rotated so that the images are “right side up” and oriented so that they are not mirror images of what they should be. If needed, color correction and exposure improvement are manually applied by a skilled colorist to reverse the age-related effects of color fading. If you wish, your slides can be grouped into folders according to individual subject groupings that you designate.
