Minimum file size: 1200x1800 pixels. Smaller images may show the pixels and
result in blurry slides.
The submission specs are:
* TIFF, JPG, BMP, PDF, PowerPoint, or PSD
* 8 Bit
* No alpha channels or quickmasks
* Minimum 1200x1800 = 4x6 @300 DPI.
* Leave fine detail about 1/8" away from the edges for mounting.
(If we notice fine detail around the edge we add a thin black strip as a spacer)
* No layers
* Try not to use clear/white backgrounds because it will projects bright light.
A black background will not project.
* Use RGB Color Mode instead of CMYK Mode.
* For TIF files use IBM PC byte order and LZW compression.
* For JPG files, do all of your manipulation in some other file format (TIF, PSD,
etc.)
If you're shooting with your digital camera, then set it to shoot at the highest quality
(largest file size) and then leave them at that size. Do not try to size them up with
software (retouching is ok), that does not improve the slides, it only creates larger files.
You can upsize your resolution if you are going to add text to your slide which will make
the text sharper.
Film Recorder page size: 2732x4096 pixels (4K) or 9x13.5 inches at 300 DPI. Files this
size will result in the best slides you can produce.
Your images will be printed so your entire image fits in the 35mm rectangle. This is the
default setting. We print your images at 95% of their possible size to minimize any
covering from the slide mount and any remaining space will be automatically filled with black. If you'd rather
have a white fill (clear film) then type it in the special instructions when you place your
order. White fill produces bright white light. It can be blinding and make your image look
dull.
We can image at 8K resolution, but 4K is optimal for 35mm slides.
You may send either vertical or horizontal images (either portrait or landscape).
We do not crop your images. If you would like us to zoom in on an image, specify it in the
special instructions box when you place your order.
CROPPING NOTE!!! Do not crop your image(s) if you want full frame (the whole image uncropped).
The rest of the slide frame will be filled in with black. Do not use the edit image option online.
We use standard 2x2 recycled white plastic slide mounts.
We can only image 35mm slides.
Images for our standard slide output are color or density corrected which will improve
the slide quality output. If you do not want us to make any adjustments, in the special
instructions or reply to your e-mail confirmation put something like: print as-is, print
straight, do not adjust, do not alter image, etc.
