Photos taken on 110 film are known to be notoriously bad photos. There are two factors that contribute to this fact. First, the negative in this type of film is so small ( 15mm x 11mm) that there really isn't much picture on the negative. The second reason is that virtually every camera that used 110 film were simply BAD cameras containing a small plastic fixed focus lens. Poor lighting conditions and dye degradation over the years have further compounded the effect on an already bad image.
In all of our slide scanning example pages, we show you what the slide mount looks like for the scanned image. These images for 110 slides shows exactly how little there is to the image portion of the slide.
As you can see, we can improve on what your original analog 110 slides look like, but we cannot compensate poor lenses, bad lighting or out of focus situations.
The following scans are actual examples of 110 color slides that we've scanned. These slides show the degeneration of the dyes contained in the film over time, and what our scanning service will offer you in terms of image recovery from slides that have degraded over time. We however cannot compensate for out of focus and marginally for poor lighting.
The red outlined bubble shows you exactly what your slide looks like without any corrective processing applied. It appears exactly as it exists at the time of scanning.
The blue outlined bubble pointing to the finished "customer ready" scan gives you details on the file. This gives you an idea of the specifications of the completed files you'll expect to receive. Of course you will also receive the same image in JPG format, reduced in resolution by 50 percent. These reduced JPG files will be suitable for printing your images if you'd like at your favorite photo printing retailer. Alternatively, these JPG images give you more than enough resolution for displaying on your phones, portable display devices, computers, digital frames... any device that supports JPG format images. The possibilities are endless. Even e-mailing to your friends and family. As discussed elsewhere on the website, the TIF format images (as shown beside the blue outlined bubble) are given to you because they contain ALL of the data from the original scan. Retain these as they are a permanent copy of all of the photo information that was captured at the time of scanning with no compression or loss of data.

This slide is approximately 40 years old.
The first scan is an un-modified raw scan as the analog slide exists at the time of scanning.
The second scan is what you would receive if this were your slide. With our post processing service, we have restored color, brightness and contrast to the limit of the original analog slide.

This slide is approximately 40 years old. As you can see, the dyes have also begun to fail.
The first scan is an un-modified raw scan as the analog slide exists at the time of scanning.
The second scan is what you would receive if this were your slide. Much of the original color has been restored in the scanned image you would receive if this were your slide.
