Question Hi Steve,
Writing to you from Australia here, look forward to getting your book! My parents have a huge collection of slides taken over 40 years. I want to get them digitally recorded and produced into a hard cover book for their anniversary (55 years!). How do I go about getting the old fashioned slides put onto a digital format?
Thanks for your help! Murray
Answer Murray
Thanks for the kind words. Book is on the way to the printers. Easiest thing for you is to get the slides scanned. You can do this at any photoshop or online through any one of many labs you'll find there. You'll get a CD of the images and you can make prints on your home printer from those files.
