I need to convert a TON of digital files into slides. How would I go about doing this? I don't want to pay someone to do it for me because I have too many photo's and the price would be high. Is there a machine that will do this for me?

Couldn't you just print onto transparency film with a standard printer, then cut them out and fit them into slides?

- buy film camera
- buy shitloads of slide film
- put all photo's in a slideshow.
- photograph your computer screen.

there's this thing called a digital projector.
Did you just ask this backwards?
>>2703685
Once upon a time there was a technology for this, but few people are using slides anymore so it will be difficult to find someone to do it.
It was called a film write.
I think it is still around is some aspect for movie films that were shot on video but I don't if any labs do it for stills anymore.

We have a Polaroid ProPalette 7000 at work for doing this, but the resolution is generally rather poor, the lens must be really poor, its less than 2mp iirc, even though the its 4k pixels wide.

>its less than 2mp
sounds about right, from my limited understanding of slide film is that is is really very low resolution and the image sharpness comes from the colour layers interacting with each other / colour bleed.
>>2703791
No, the resolution is limited by the printer, poor optics, despite the source being able to output 4k pixels wide.
Ie: An image taken with the same slide film of a test is much much sharper, then a test printed back to the same slide film through the printer. Even if that test is digitally generated image file. It's not the film, it's the printer.
I get 20mp+ on most slide films in 35mm with my regular lenses. Though I don't shoot 35mm often.

>implying you can't easily get 20+MP of data out of fine grained films like Portra and Ektar, let alone low speed films like Velvia
>>2703925
Portra is not a fucking slide film.
>>2703925
And the lower the speed, the better the amount of detail in the image.
>>2703685
You never convert digital into slides, you enjoy that it is superior digital, and project it with a digital projector.
>>2703925
The rougher grained film Fuji C200 has more detail than Portra and Ektar, albeit with grainier images.
With the typical pro colour neg films, I find it realistic to typically expect about 65 lp/mm.
>>2703736
nope. digital to film is the objective as strange as it seems

I've been trying to research this for a bit but google only gives me results for writing screen plays when I type "film write" or "film write machine" or film write slide making" in. Any chance you could point me in a more specific direction?
