Turning Old Slides Into Digital Images (boomertechadventures.com)

What is lining the plastic box?

Yet again another video that should retitle. adding the word using a mobile phone.!!!

Searched so many videos to do this quickly, easily, and this is one of the best. Going to try this now, for a cousin's wedding anniversary - 50 year old slides. Thank you. Simple.

I'm going to have to try this out too so far I've seen two different styles of people doing this and you guys too are the most handy dandy ones to try

Love your innovation!

Thanks for posting, great idea!

Very MacGyver! I like that last method for the reason you stated, that it holds it nice and steady.

Chris, thanks for sharing this fantastic method so perfectly.

Brilliant!!! Thank you so much!! I just found a box of old (40+ years) slides, and I can't wait to convert them using your super-smart method. Again, thank you!!

OMGawd how happy am I to have found this. As an artist with loads of slides and a slide projector that stopped working, this is a life saver. I do have a question about pixel quality. Should I use a setting on my phone so the image comes out more refined? The images are coming out terrible. loss of detail/

Great idea. Only downside is that we all know now your phone unlocking code.

I found a load of slides from my brother when he was working abroad in the 60s, who has sadly now passed on. I needed a simple way to view them and this is a great way to do this. Thank you so much.

pixelles!

Excellent

What great ideas!! Many, many thanks! I have so many of these and cannot wait to get started with „your system“. ✌️&❤️, Happy New year to you!!

so easy with spectaculous results / thank you

It worked! Thank you so much!

Great video..

Saves me from going insane trying to understand instructions for slide copier machines. Many, many thanks.

¡muchísimas gracias Mr.BoomerTECH!😘

Thank you for the tip!

Incredible . Thank you.

Very informative, thanks so much.

Thanks for a great Demo and showing me how to do Professional Slides to pics on my phone. Awesome!!

This is incredible - thank you so much! This'll make a lot of old friends and family very happy! Much appreciation to you.

Great! Effective and very affordable. Thank you for sharing.

Did you mention how large the hole was that you made in the plastic light box?

Thank you! What a cool idea and so easy. I will have to try this on my 65 year old slides (of me!) and see what I can get

Great video and I am good to go! Thanks so much!

Excelente way of doing it. Thanks a lot. I had tried with a light bulb underneath but the light is not uniform. Thanks a lot again.

I just tried it and I am so pleased with the results. I used my kindle for light, and a 5 by10 inch transparent box from boxed lettuce to steady my iPhone on and i was able to zoom in on my slides and get very good results. Thanks so much for the idea.

This sounds wonderful...I will try it soon. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this resourceful and very helpful tutorial. Bravo, Sir!

This is GENIUS!!!

This is great, I had no idea you could do this. I have many slides my mother took of us when very young Thanks so much as it is not cheap to convert slides but this is so easy and incredible results 👌

Hello! I was wondering if you had any good ideas on working with a 4x6 size negative from the 1930's. It's unbelievable that the negatives are 4x6.

The method worked very well Chris . Thanks again.

..this is great!! Was wondering whether I would ever get round to the C-41 process work I have - now you have shown me a solution..thanks!! Do you have a similar method to 'project' 35mm negatives??!

brilliant, thanks mate.

Thank you Chris for showing us how to digitize slides .I can't wait to try this method. It looks easy.

Like it. Very simple procedure. Thanks for sharing.

Really creative solution. I'll take it a step further by using a digital camera to shoot as it has a higher resolution and better optics to produce a better shot. Thx for sharing.

Thank you so much for this video! My Vu Point digital slide converter suddenly stopped working and after contacting the company, found out that they had no suggestions on how to fix my device which had been discontinued. Luckily I found this genius video! I didn't have a biscuit cutter but I had a wide bangle bracelet that held the slide perfectly. A toilet paper roll wasn't wide enough but I found a cardboard roll that held curling ribbon. I just removed the top and bottom from it. The hardest part was keeping the backlit screen on in a steady manner as any pressure on the iPad screen would make it go haywire. So glad I was able to finish up the last hundred slides of my project. The end result was just as good or better than what the converter device did. Thank you BoomerTech!

Thanks

I always wondered why there weren't many baby/small child photos of me around the house...then realized they were on my dad's old slides! Thanks for this easy tutorial, I look forward to trying it out and seeing mini-me, and my parents.

So clear, can’t wait to have a go, you made it interesting and fun, thank you.

Pixelles?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing these simple ideas. I have only one slide but really want to see it as it is one from my childhood. I downloaded a few useless apps then found your tutorial. 🤗😊

Low tech but very effective.
