    Jpegs to slides

    I seem to remember someone mentioning a firm that could process jpegs to make slides. Can anyone help with an address or advice regarding the quality of results?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    a lot of professional camera stores will do this, but expect to pay a hefty price. I remember discussing this with my photo prof and she mentioned how expensive it is.

    Not many places will have this equipment, googling the UK shows many in university departments around the country. I'd try there first, in case they provide external services.

    Searching the www for "digital slide" seems to get good hits, plenty of mail-order services. I haven't found any in Scotland yet.


    The machines used to be quite expensive, and high resolution even more so.
    But unlike most modern electronics, prices have not come down.
    The 4K resolution Lasergraphics Personal LFR Plus, perfectly adequate for most slidemaking applications, is priced at $5995, the 8K resolution Lasergraphics Mark III is priced at only $8995 ... only ?

    This is a good reference site http://computergraphicsgroup.com/


    We had a Lasergraphics in the X-Ray department at the hospital, because despite many imaging systems being digital, the radiologists' teaching presentations were all done using one or two slide projectors.
    It was an essential skill to manage a dual slide setup and have all the slides in the right order, the right way up, and in the right magazine, for a side by side presentation.

    So we needed to take digital images from MRI and CT and convert them to slide. Presentations too, imagine powerpoint presentations being run on a slide projector !

    By the time I left the department, laptops and digital projectors were cheap enough but NOT of high enough quality to display diagnostic images. Slide was not dead !
