Comparing The Same Slides Sent To Different Slide Scanning Companies

These scans, below, are from a "127" Super Slide. Costco doesn't even scan these slides. We sent it in with our sample order and Costco sent it back with a note saying that they can't scan them. This slide had a lot of problems with dye fading. Our original scan looked similar in color to the Walgreens scan but, that was before we did the color corrections that they did not do.

Note the color corrections by Affordable Scanning's Photoshop artists. You get this expert color work on each scan. Many discolored images can be brought back to life again by our experts. No extra charge!

Affordable Scanning Service's Final Scan

Walgreen's "127" scan, below. It was cropped down when they scanned it and you do not get the whole slide. They didn't even crop it cleanly. The slide was faded and looked like this, to start with, in our scan as well. This was certainly a problem slide. They just did nothing to try to restore the colors. We try to restore colors on every scan and lots of slides need our help. Walgreen's scan is cropped down because they can only scan a 35mm slide, which is a rectangle. "127" slides are squares. You lose a lot when you crop a square into a rectangle. At least Costco was honest enough to admit that they couldn't do the scan properly.

Walgreen's final scan of Grand Canyon slide

Yes, this was a tough slide. We passed with flying colors and they failed amazingly. Don't send your slides to failures.
