Re: Slides to Digital?

I had some really old slides made into negatives and then printed, it was some years ago but had those done at Boots I'm guessing they could put them onto a CD or something for you.

Not the best place in the world but worth a try if you can't find anywhere else.

Re: Slides to Digital?

Depends on the quality of the slides - are they 35mm?

If it's something you want to do at home - slide scanners can be used - but the results are variable... I tried it once - using an Epson slide scanner - not particularly impressed...

You could use one of the online professional services - but I've not used them - so can't comment on their results - places like these do a free trial - may be worth a look:
