New Photo CD Service Offers Flexibility

High quality scanning and Photo CD services are now available to UC Davis faculty, staff, and students on a recharge basis. Simply send in your 35mm slides or negatives and Creative Communication Services' Illustration Services will scan them using a professional Kodak® film scanner and place them on the medium of your choice. This service will prove particularly helpful if you need to produce a number of high quality scans and create large archives of digital images. In the past, original slide collections had to be taken directly to an outside vendor or duplicated so they could be digitized off campus. With the new service, one-of-a-kind collections can remain on campus throughout the digital conversion process, thus reducing overall costs. Specific features include:

  • High-resolution images can be produced from any digital photographic or graphic source, including 35mm slides, negatives, CDs, or Zip disks.

  • You may choose to save images in any format, including TIFF, JPEG, or Image Pak. With Kodak's Image Pak, you can place 100 images on a single CD in five different resolutions, from 70K thumbnails to 2048x3072 pixel 18MB files.

  • Image files can be saved on any medium, including CD, Zip disks, Jaz disks, 128MB opticals, and Kodak Writable and Portfolio II CDs. Scanned images may also be stored on the Illustration Services file server. (You will have up to a week to retrieve the images.)

  • Each Photo CD comes with software that makes it easy to view and print your images. You can also run one-click slide shows of your collections.
