With over 20 years experience working in the michaels camera photo lab, our Founder, Carly Michael, leads a team of highly-trained lab technicians using state-of-the-art equipment and rigorous quality control processes to convert your 35mm slides to high quality and organised digital files.

Benefits of using PhotoGenie’s Slide Scanning Service:

- We provide high quality and high resolution scans that are clear, sharp and look like the original slides
- Scans are provided as jpeg files (TIFF available on request) with enough resolution to print at least A4 size
- We clean the slides from dust both physically and digitally
- We manually go through each of the scans and check for and remove any missed dust on faces and important details
- We rotate each of the files so that all the landscape and portrait images are displayed in the correct orientation (i.e. horizontal shots will come as horizontal files and vertical shots as vertical files)
- We give each batch of physical slides an ID number (ie 1234). This ID number will be included in the digital filename allowing you to quickly and easily locate the original slide from the file
- We can also rehouse your original slides in archival sleeving, stored in sleek folders or boxes
- We look for clues as to the approximate date the slides were taken and also the location/theme/subject
- We include this information within the file and folder names so that they become descriptive
- Your digital scans become searchable and filed in chronological order, e.g. 19721225_ChristmasFamilyLorne_1234-001.jpg
- We update the date of the digital files we create to be the date listed in the filename
- This means that you can add your scanned files into your digital photo collection (i.e. iCloud/Google Photos) and the scans will appear in the correct spot in the timeline

BOOK A TIME TO DROP-OFF YOUR SLIDES

What treasures are hidden in your slide collection?

It’s likely you’ll only every scan your slides once so we believe in doing it once and doing it well. That’s why we don’t just digitise your slides, we also organise them.

As professional Photo Managers we are committed to helping you be able to find your photos when you need them and ensure they are accessible and relevant to future generations.

We work with you to identify dates, events & locations and include this information in the filenames. The digital files become searchable, are ordered chronologically & are also descriptive.

The means that you won’t end up with a digital version of your physical mess.

"PhotoGenie provides excellent service and work. Carly, with great communication skills, offered good advice as well as additional work in cleaning, colour balance and framing individual slides & transparencies. Highly recommended'

"Carly and her team at PhotoGenie took a crate of my late mother's slide carousels off my hands and carefully digitised the lot for me. The results are fabulous. It saved me a lot of time and headache."

"I am delighted with your work in digitising my 380 35-mm slides. The quality is surprisingly good, given that some of the slides are now 70-years old. My 380 slides are just a small selection of the boxes and boxes of slides that are now in the tip, but having my selection digitised and then able to give this small bit of history to my children in a totally accessible way gives me great relief. The cost of doing this was most reasonable, and I am most impressed with the professionalism of PhotoGenie.
So thank you very much."

“Carly has done a great job with converting and cleaning up our 40 year slides to a digital format and we are now going to consider our photos and albums. Our treasured history and memories are now preserved in a format that future generations may actually look at and value without needing bulky storage space. Thanks Carly and staff.”

“I have found the whole process from start to finish very efficient (punctual), reasonably priced and you have produced an excellent product. I am working on identifying names/subjects in the family’s prints which will probably take a couple of months then I will return with that as our next job for you. Will see you in a few months time. Thanks”

Lynette

“From my first conversation with Carly and the advice she gave me in dealing with around 10,000 of my late mothers slides I knew I had found the right person to help me with the massive task ahead.
Carly was very professional, provided updates throughout the process and completed digitising around 1,250 of the slides on time. My family and I are absolutely thrilled with the care taken and quality of the end result and are enjoying our trip down memory lane. Highly, highly recommend Carly you will not be disappointed!”

“Carly provided excellent follow up service. Took pride in her work and took the extra effort to ensure my photos from 40 years ago were organised and categorised to make viewing them such an enjoyable trip down memory lane.”

“I recently needed old slides converted to digital images for my father's funeral. I was in a hurry to find the right place to do it, and by miracle, I came across PhotoGenie which was 5 minutes away from me. To my pleasant surprise, Carly answered the phone out of normal business hours and stated that the turn around generally took 3 weeks. We needed the images in a matter of days and after understanding my position, Carly offered a turnaround of 24 hours without an additional charge. This took an enormous amount of pressure off me. Carly ended up delivering the images in less than 24 hours and did an exceptional job, ensuring the images were cleaned and colours corrected so that they could be the best quality possible. Thank you Carly!”

“I had a box of slides from my grandparents hanging around for years. I didn’t know what to do with them but I didn’t want to throw them out. Carly from PhotoGenie provided amazing advice, support & service. My family has been astounded by the memories that Carly brought back to life. I’d recommend this service to anyone.”
