Lanes Trains Slide Scanning

I have recently purchased a high end Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED 35mm slide and negative scanner. The Nikon software greatly improves the scanned image over other scanners. It can remove most blemishes and some to possibly all of the slide fungus as it scans.

The end scan will be full negative or slide size at 4000 DPI! The results are truly amazing, and can save you HOURS of touch up in Photoshop.

You can get your choice of a 2-7 MB JPG or a 50 MB+ Archival 8 or 16 bit TIF file.

No retouching whatsoever has been done to the below images

Before After

The CoolScan makes a bad slide fair, a good slide better and a great slide excellent.

I would expect to get mostly train slides to scan give the market it is announced to. However I will scan your family slides as well.

Most slides are getting to be 30+ years old now. They need to be digitally preserved and achieved before they degrade more.

I will not scan an obviously copyrighted slide or subjects that are not “G” rated.

Slide Scanning Rates

$1.00 per slide with the software set to the same levels. They will be batch scanned but will be saved as individual files. Files will be sequentially named Image001 etc.

$4.00 per slide if they are individually scanned. I will make scanning adjustments to get the best possible image available from that slide. Files will be sequentially named Image001 etc.

Return shipping and insurance is not included in the scanning rates.

Kodachrome slides must be separated from all other brands.

I also can make borderless prints from your scans on an Epson R2400 printer at sizes from 5 x 7 up to 13 x 19.
