Because we cannot
automate the 35mm 3D Stereo Slide scanning
process, the charge is $1 per slide and no
quantity discount. We think this is a fair price
considering the time that is involved. We also
enhance each scanned image at no extra charge.
One side of the 3D Stereo slide is scanned and
digitized. In this case we are mainly interested in the
transfer of the slide to digital. We are not
converting the stereo slide to digital stereo or
to a 3D image. You are going to end up with an image that
is approximately 2076 X 2359 ppi / 300ppi. Or,
another way of looking at it would be, you will
have an image that is almost 7 " X 8" and 300
pixels per inch. That is almost 5 mega pixel quality. Your size all depends on the area of
your 3D stereo slide.
Please NOTE: We are sorry but, we will NOT scan both sides of the slide. This is not in our workflow and we cannot change our workflow. Please don't ask. The answer is no. Sorry.

The quality of your scans will depend on the quality of the slide and if you have taken the time to clean the slides before sending to us. We do not clean slides. |

3D stereo slide to 3D digital image
If you want to go one step further on your 3D Stereo Slide Conversion, we can convert your 3D Stereo Slides to 3D digital images that can be viewed on your computer monitor with 3D Glasses and they can also be viewed as prints with 3D glasses. If our samples, below, look good on your monitor, then your slides will look good too. The 3d digital image is not going to be very good for a DVD slide show. A lot depends on the distance that you are sitting from your TV. Because of the higher resolution, the images are going to look better on a computer monitor. We recommend 1600 X 1200 setting for the computer monitor display.
This is specialty work and has a much higher cost because of all the extra work involved. The cost to transform one 3D stereo slide to 3D digital format is $10 each, $50 minimum charge.

If you have some Red / Blue 3D glasses, put them on and view the image below. This was made from a standard stereo slide.

Your digital stereo image will be in the following format :
-
Anaglyph - Red/Cyan Color (Works with Red/Blue glasses also)
If you have personal 3D View-Master Reels that you would like to have scanned and digitized so that you can have the images on a disk that can play as a DVD slide show and also play as a PC slide show and store the images on the disk, then you have come to the right place. We have to stress that these have to be personal photos and not commercial disks. We will not be scanning any copyright protected films and most of the commercially produced reels are copyright protected. Personal reels are different and are obviously not copyright protected.
We do service customers outside of the USA. Special arrangements must be made for payment and shipping. Our 800 number does not service other countries. Please send email.
If someone has had a stereo or "3D" camera, you may have a collection of some older "3D" or stereo mounted slides. The mounts may be plastic, cardboard, or aluminum. The pictures of your wedding or other special events may be on this unique product. We do not remove the film or damage the 3D stereo film holder. These are specialty scans and the scanning process cannot be automated and have to be hand fed and necessarily are subject to a higher scanning charge.
This type of 35mm slide is intended to be looked at through a stereopticon or stereo type viewer or projected through a special 3D stereo slide projector and viewed with special, polarized 3D glasses. If you look at a stereo 3D slide through a special 3D viewer, Stereopticon or Stereo slide projector and you see a flat image, then somebody made the 3D slide incorrectly. A good 3D stereo slide will be able to view near, middle and distant objects in the viewer or projected when wearing special 3D glasses. Stereoscopy and 3D are different animals. Don't confuse perspective with 3D. Stereoscopy gives depth perception. The depth is only simulated. Real 3D requires at least two pictures which simulate the right and left eye.
The 3D or stereo slide can be converted to view as life-size, if you have a Large Screen TV. Digital images of these loved ones, relatives and friends can be viewed as if they were standing before you.
If you are going to have prints made from your 3d stereo slides, keep in mind that the finished image will be approximately 6" x 6.5" because of the size of the original film. If you are going to have a full sized print made, you will have to put them on an 8 x 10 sheet.

If
you have your 3D or "stereo" slides in plastic sleeves such as the
one to the right, you will have to take them out and put them in
stacks, or we can do it for you for an additional charge.
If
you have your 3D or "stereo" slides in glass
that is held together with tape that is
deteriorating, you will have to remove the glass
and put the slides into stacks before sending
them to us.
3D or Stereo Slide Equipment
(No we do NOT sell this equipment.)
When two slightly different images are seen through a stereo viewer or stereo projector, the two images are combined in the brain to give a perception of depth and 3D quality. Various devices have been created to view 3D or Stereo slides over the years. Below, we show some of those devices.
The stereo slide is inserted into the stereo 3D viewer and then, either the viewer has its own, self-contained light or you have to look through the viewer into a light.
In the case of a 3D stereo projector, the slide is inserted into the projector and the dual images are projected onto a screen. The person must use special, either polarized lenses or special red and green lens or red and blue lens glasses. One color for each eye.
Stereopticon
Dictionary definition:
A magic lantern, especially one with two projectors arranged so as to produce dissolving views.
