Colour Slide Negatives?

[PaulineJ]

Ours were done (at home) at 3200dpi, and you can see the woodgrain on the church pews when you zoom in. If you can get over here (Halifax) , I can scan a couple as a trial, and then you can see if it is worth having the remainder done.

The Kodak transparency sounds like a normal 35mm slide.  The others sound more interesting, are you sure they are all of the 60's wedding?  It's unusual to find glass transparencies so late, but having said that I have some of my dad's from the early 50's (but they are only the ones that he used as "intermissions" between actual photographs during a slide show, i.e. he wrote on them, they weren't photographic).  Plus dad's are 35mm, not large ones like you have.

Hmmm...haven't helped much have I!

Okay
   If your dates are correct, and I suspect by the sound of things, they are. Your smaller ones are certainly 35mm and anyone with a transmitted light scanner should have no problem, but as I said previously scan at 1200dpi (or more). The other slides sound like 6x6 and no they aren’t a glass slide – they are actually sandwiched between 2 pieces of non reflective glass to protect the actual film. Due to the physical size of these slides there are few scanners capable of scanning the whole negative. Notwithstanding the availability of professional scanners, with these larger slides you may want to remove the actual slide from the frame (one edge should click and swing out) and then possibly scan only the centre or most important part of the picture.
   As for the colours they may or may not be able to be fixed with a digital
Photo’ programme. If not you may decide that it would be better to convert them to grey scale or sepia toned (the old brown coloured photos.

The photos enclosed in glass sound intriguing. I wonder if you could take a digital photo of the slide so we could see what it looks like.

If as Denn says, you may have to convert it to greyscale, they may be able to be colorized depending on the quality of the scan.

A quick word of warning as an afterthougt
       The Glass enclosed slides were as I have said to protect the actual slide from scratches and to keep it flat. but whatever you do - if you post them anywhere please remove the slides from the glass. I posted some many years ago and the result was a packege of broken glass and severely scratched slides

slide as requested

[deadants]

hi jinks,
    Is that the 35mm or the framed glass slide?

[dennford]

OK
 see the tab at the top right hand corner? that will click out and the whole right hand side swings outwards, after which you can slide out the slide and two pieces of glass sandwiching it.

don't take notice of the attachment tht'ds just me fiddling. your slides being 6x6 shouldcome up quite good quality - better than a 35mm but having just messed around with the web image do you know the colour of the dresses, were they coloured.
