I have 1000s of Kodachrome 25 & 64 & Ektachrome 100 slides I have digitized using a PACIFIC IMAGE ELECTORNICS POWER SLIDE 5000 set at optimum pixel, color, etc format. Resulting digitized images are 200+ megapixel high resolution images I downloaded to a dual layer disk holding 8.4 gigabit formatted to 7.8 gigabit. My question for ALAMY FORUM Contributors, has anyone digitized their 35mm slides and submitted to ALAMY? If so, what happened? For any contributor who has digitized Kodachrome slides knows there is a lost of fidelity from the original slide to the 'digitized' image assuming the slide is photographically and technically excellent to begin with. What did you say to ALAMY regarding this loss? NIKON produced a slide digitized machine several years ago that is no longer in the market...price: $8,000 U.S.D. way beyond my budget. I am frustrated at having 1000s of slides that are on disks sitting in boxes. Commercial companies that 'digitize' slides to disk are too expensive. Suggestions and lessons-learned are welcome. Cheers, Paul Jones
