Many of us have old boxes of slides lying around the house. Some forget they exist, while others bring out the slide projector to view them occasionally. But with a slide scanner, it's possible to scan your old 35mm slides into your computer. Making digital versions of your slides ensures copies of your photos will remain with the family long after the slides have faded away. One of the most respected names in the photography world is Nikon. It manufactures a variety of related products, including cameras, lenses, speedlights, and slide scanners. At the bottom of Nikon's slide scanner line up is the Coolscan IV ED. This model is a full-featured yet economical choice for someone looking to scan slides. Coolscan Nikon slide scanners make it easy to convert your slides into digital photographs. Even if the slides have been damaged by time, Nikon can help restore them, leaving you with a digital version much like the original slide. This is all thanks to its powerful Digital ICE tool, which handles color correction on the software side. Old, faded, washed-out slides can be improved dramatically when Nikon's Digital ICE is enabled. As you progress up through the Nikon slide scanners catalog, more features are added, speeds are increased, and more formats are supported by its scanners. These high-end models are geared more towards professional applications. Models at the lower end of Nikon's lineup would be ideal for casual use. Purchased used, the price drops even lower, making it affordable to preserve your family's memories. |
