Unlock Your Memories: Seamlessly Transforming Slides to Digital Keepsakes!

In this era of digital advancements, slide scanning has become a DIY possibility, achievable with a digital camera or smartphone for basic needs. But, back then, photography had three primary forms: slides (reversal film) negatives or prints.

Slides, particularly the common 35mm format, were small positive film cutouts framed in cardboard or plastic, harboring cherished moments.

While scanning photos and slides individually or in bulk may have limitations, today’s cutting-edge digital scanners and smartphones promise excellent results, transforming slides into digital formats like JPEG or .TIFF, opening doors for new prints and visualisations.

At Yesterdays, we specialise in the seamless transfer of your slides and scan negative film. We elegantly transform them into an array of formats for photo printing or visualisation, elevating your memories to custom videos, presentations, or animated photo slideshows.
