35mm Negatives
Come across some old pics I want developing.
Anyone know where I can get them done in Perth.
I'm up in Joondalup.
Cheers

I did this for the Mother In Law and once you get rolling it's quite enjoyable to bring the old pics back to life.
(edit) Lots of choice around $100 ...http://www.myshopping.com.au/PT--91_...__fs_48240_e__

Re: 35mm Negatives
I have a cheap ($100) slide scanner, and whilst it is good for downloading slides the quality is not the best - which may be a function of the original picture but I think is more a function of the scanner. If you want really high quality scans then have them done professionally - and don't whinge about the cost! If I remember from having a few done some time ago, it's very expensive.

Thanks for that.
While searching I came across www.scancafe.com.

Re: 35mm Negatives
Did you mean that the film needs to be developed or do you actually have the negatives?
I've scanned thousands of slides and negatives. I use an HP Scanjet 4890. I do the in bulk (16 slides at once) to about 2000x1600 pixels per frame then go back and repeat at a higher resolution if warranted or needed. They need tidying and colour restoration but it's amazing what a bit of Photoshop Elements can do. Slides that have faded almost away over 40 years or so can be brought back to life quite successfully.

Re: 35mm Negatives
Maybe you can help me.
I scan a lot of business paperwork at 8 bit greyscale about 200 dpi and it gives pretty good results.
What sort of resolution would you recommend for scanning standard colour 35mm film negatives?
Just everyday snapshot stuff.

Re: 35mm Negatives
About AUD163 + postage on Amazon.com but they won't ship to AU.
I wonder what those mail forwarding companies are like.

Re: 35mm Negatives
Absolutely nuts.
Even after paying that high postage it's about AUD 100 cheaper than Office Works.
Oh, plus cost of a new plug...........erm, and an electrician to fit it
