We recorded several decades of our band history on slides. Many of these memories were digitized by DIAFIX. The team and the results really convinced us.

Highest demands for your slides: Our resolutions

 

The Standard+ quality is a good basis for scanning your slides. With 4,250 dpi and a high contrast range, your memories are scanned in solid quality – ideal for display on 4K monitors and prints up to A3 format. Discover the finest details such as inscriptions when zooming in and enjoy an optimized presentation on different screens.

 

The Premium quality takes your slides to a new level: with 5,000 dpi resolution for brilliant prints up to DIN A2. You will experience improved color and contrast that bring your memories to life with outstanding sharpness and vivid colors. Ideal for photo books, canvas prints and projector presentations, this level guarantees impressive results that capture the finest details of your most precious moments.

 

Our High-end quality sets new standards in slide digitization. With a breathtaking 6,200 dpi and a dynamic range of Dmax=4.5, this quality level delivers outstanding image quality that meets highest demands, even for high-contrast subjects. The exceptional color fidelity and high level of detail not only enable impressive large format prints, but also precise image details.

Our high-end post-processing for slides provides an excellent image and color experience, even with older images. We use a specially developed, AI-controlled process for color correction. The AI compares the colors of your image with standard values. Post-processing offers the following advantages:

  • Color optimization: Color casts are corrected as far as possible, enabling a natural looking image.
  • Contrast enhancement: Faded colors and contrasts are refreshed, which leads to optimal results, especially with old slides.
  • Option to compare: You receive both the processed and unprocessed scans so that you can see the improvements directly.

If you choose to save as a TIFF file, you have additional editing options. Otherwise the images are saved as JPEG.

Our compressed air treatment is not only perfect for extremely dirty slides. It offers the following advantages for all slides:

  • Dust reduction: Compressed air treatment significantly reduces the dust on your slides.
  • Cleaner images: You no longer have to worry about annoying dirt on the digital images.
  • Easier post-processing: Reducing dust and dirt makes post-processing much easier for professionals.

Scan slides yourself or have them digitised by a slide scanning service: Which is better?

A good scanner for slides and negatives is expensive (starting at €500) and is only worth it if you want to scan a large amount of slides. Cheaper scanning devices often have low resolutions, resulting in poor quality. In addition, scanning slides one at a time is very time consuming, and cleaning to a high standard is quite difficult. You may have to repeat scans several times because the scanned image is not straight or shows dust. Meanwhile, operating the scanner itself can be complicated. That’s why it’s not as easy as you might think to scan slides on your own.

Digitizing slides with MEDIAFIX is easy: Just call us on our phone number +49 221 / 67 78 69 34 or start an online request with our contact form. Add the signed order form to the package.

What does it cost to have my slides scanned at MEDIAFIX?

MEDIAFIX converts your slides to digital starting at €0.03 a piece. Our best price guarantee ensures that you will always get the lowest price with MEDIAFIX.

How can I deliver my slides?

You can deliver your slides by post or drop them by personally in our head office in Cologne or even in one of our 95 collection points.

Which resolution should I choose?

This depends on what your needs are. In general, a higher resolution captures more details of the slide, which you can see on the screen later on. We provide these quality levels:

  • Standard+ quality: 4,250 dpi. Suitable for Full HD TVs and for printing photo books
  • Premium quality: 5,000 dpi. Suitable for wall prints up to 1 m width, with more than enough potential for post-processing and using small image details
  • High-end quality: 6,200 dpi. Suitable for wall prints up to 1.5 m width, with more than enough potential for post-processing and using small image details

Note: Only higher slide scan resolutions allow you to zoom into the picture see details.

Is it possible to improve the contrast and sharpness of my pictures?

For better contrast and sharper images we recommend a higher resolution when scanning your slides.

Premium quality: Ensures a higher resolution and even a higher dynamic range. The scanned image will appear more true to the original, and high-contrast images are reproduced better.
High-end quality: Achieved by a virtual multiple scan. Image contours, high ranges in colour and contrast are better captured. If necessary, our professional scan employees correct issues by making manual adjustments. These scans are produced in highest quality and are suitable for zooming in.

Do my slides have to be in correct order in the scanning process?

Not necessarily. MEDIAFIX digitizes photo slides in universal magazines. If you deliver your slides appropriately, we can directly scan them without having to re-sort them. If you deliver them loose or in other magazine types, we re-sort your slides. We also keep your slides in the right order.

Can you also scan dirty slides?

Reinigung von Dias mit GlasrahmenOf course. If your slides have been in storage for a while, it’s quite normal that there will be some dirt and dust. Depending on the frame type, we provide various cleaning services. Before scanning, slides in plastic frames get a compressed air treatment. For glass-framed slides, wet cleaning is best. Our cleaning services ensure the best outcome, so the images don’t have to be retouched afterwards.

Can MEDIAFIX also scan unframed single slides?

Yes, MEDIAFIX can scan unframed single slides, and even in larger amounts upon request. Just start a request and we’ll get in touch with you to discuss your order.
