What customers say: ( we love to hear from you )
| Your customer service has been exceptionally good and I am very thankful for your reponses. This is of course very important to us and the 10 students who will be using these slides for college credit. I really appreciate your time and care in this matter, and can say that Catonsville High will use your company every year for this. Matt |
Digital Camera Files
Most all the digital cameras today offer resolutions which will make nice 35mm slides. As a minimum, we would recommend that you not use a resolution lower than 640x480 pixels. Higher resolution is better.
Also, most digital cameras do not shoot the same image aspect frame as a 35mm frame. (A full frame for 35mm is 1" x 1.5" ) Many digital cameras use something close to a 1" x 1.25" frame. This results in an image being short of filling the 35mm frame on the longer side of the photo. This should be taken into account when making slides, and your preference communicated to us when you order. The preference to communicate is:
-
Whether to not crop any of the image and let it best fit in the 35mm slide frame, or
-
to crop the image so that it fills the 35mm slide frame.
As a default practice, we do not crop any of the images to fill the 35mm slide frame.
Computer Files to Slides
Making slides is like printing, so a digital image which can make a nice
print should be able to make a nice slide. When I make a slide from a 4x6 print, I scan the print at 300 dpi. This produces an 1800x1200
pixel image. This is very good resolution for the slide. Your
file should be in RGB color. Remember that color will vary from screen to
screen and so it will vary on your slide. If color is critical to you, I
suggest that you submit a few test slides to compare to your computer screen
Image shape needs to
be
considered if filling the slide frame is important. Cropping is required in
order for
a more square image to fill the 35mm rectangle frame. If no image cropping is
desired we fill in around the image with black to complete the 35mm frame. (
We do not crop images unless specifically instructed .) We do not adjust
or tamper with your files.
I recommend JPG file format with minimal compression for sending images
for slides. ( We can accept most image file formats. )
For sending files - our ordering page has links for uploading with a Web browser and placing your order into our shopping cart or PayPal. You can also send files as email attachments.

(also
important for
students applying for AP credit)
Please read the appropriate section - whether your files are from a digital camera, scanned image or directly from your computer. Be sure that you adhere to proportions of 4 in x 6 in at 300 dpi to fill the entire frame (or we fill in with black) and that your files are in RGB color. When slides are projected onto a screen, most are more brilliant than a "flat" printed image. We do have expedited ordering and shipping, and we can drop ship your slides to another address for you.
Additional Resources for Students:
This is what the College Board has to say about AP Studio Art:
"The AP Studio Art portfolios are designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written examination; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year.
Most AP Studio Art candidates prepare their portfolios through organized AP instruction. If your school does not offer an AP Studio Art program, you may work independently to complete the portfolio. It is vital that you plan far enough in advance so that you can complete the portfolio on time. See the exam calendar for information on when portfolios are due.
The table below summarizes the section requirements for each of the three portfolios.
Drawing 2-D Design 3-D Design Section I: Quality Five actual drawings; maximum size is 18" x 24" Five actual works; maximum size is 18" x 24" Five works; two slides of each one are submitted Section II: Concentration 12 slides; some may be details 12 slides; some may be details 12 slides; some may be second views Section III: Breadth 12 works; one slide of each is submitted 12 works; one slide of each is submitted Eight works; two slides of each are submitted All three sections are required and carry equal weight, but students are not necessarily expected to perform at the same level in each section to receive a qualifying grade for advanced placement. The order in which the three sections are presented is in no way meant to suggest a curricular sequence. The works presented for evaluation may have been produced in art classes or on the student's own time and may cover a period of time longer than a single school year."
