Be sure to edit your negatives first. When taking negatives to a lab, some only offer a medium resoultion file. Their automated photofinishing only offers this as a jpg option. This is fine for small prints and online viewing. Not all of our images are a work of art. Take the really special images and request a larger file scan so that your quality is higher and you can get up to 8X10 prints. Many labs offer both options.
Older negs will sometimes be hard to work with because they fade with time. Anything over 7 years may see a color shift. On a batch scan, you can't expect too much in the way of color correction, but the high resolution scan should be better.
You could scan them yourself, however, most labs don't like to print these because your dust controls are not as stringent as theirs. They have wonderfuly clean and dust free rooms dedicated to scanning.

KODAK Picture CD is the best way to get digital pictures and continue using your film camera.
When you drop off your film for processing, be sure to choose prints plus KODAK Picture CD. Along with your prints and film negatives, you'll get back your pictures on a CD with easy to use tools that help you zoom & crop, reduce red-eye, share and print your images. This means you can be a part of the digital world without changing your picture taking habits.

Take them to any of the places that process film and ask them if they do it and how much they charge. Find out if they have any specials. One of the stores near me has a special -- they will put photos on a cd for $5.99 or so and the add said a cd will hold approximately 80 photos.

you could bypass to all of us hour image keep to do it (objective, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc), yet be prepared to pay lots in case you do! I used to artwork contained in the image center at objective and they could only in good condition about 4 or 5 rolls of movie (or strips of negatives) to a CD. so that you're paying lots once you've truly extremely some negatives. Get the most inexpensive CDs they have and insist that they in good condition as many negatives as they could to each and each of the CD's (do not enable them allow you to recognize that they could't because they could, or a minimum of i recognize objective can). in case you opt for each and each of the photographs on one CD, you could upload all of them to one on your computing device once you get your CDs made from the image center. do no longer enable them deliver it off, i have heard of soooo many thoughts the position human beings have lost their negatives and they have not in any respect been got here across. wish this helps! =)

some scanner have the abbility to scan negative film, as long as you have develop your film. so you can save it on your pc, cheaper than to pay the lab to scan your negative and burn it onto cd though. cannon, epson, or hp works well
