Yes digital images can be made into slides. I have mine made into slides and
they are sufficient to enter shows, apply for grants, etc. They actually
expose the digital image on film that same way your camera does. You need
at least a 3.3 mega pixel camera to 6 mega pixel camera to do this.
Anything over 6 mega pixels is overkill.
Thank you.

Yes, Lois. But your have to find a local company that can move from
digital to slide. There is, however, a slight loss of detail (I am told) in
the process.

I've had my digital camera for a while, and love it. I took shots of
my new booth setup with it at my last show.
Some shows allow you to submit your booth shot by photo; others don't.
One show I am entering is VERY specific in saying the booth shot must
be a slide.
Is it possible to have the digital image converted to a slide? Any
suggestions?

Hi,
I've had digital photos turned into slides. The fees are a bit high, up to $6 or $7 per slide, but they came out
great and I've used them for submission to several shows. The photo shop was here in California so it might not help
you specifically. They had a lot of digital equipment to process things. They took a .jpg photo and made regular slides.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it is. If you have a company in your area that does color work for
graphic arts they will more than likely offer that as a service. I
don't know pricing, but I know a painter who takes digital photos of
his canvases (using a Hasselblad with a digital back) who does his
slides this way. One nice thing is that you don't lose any quality with
dupes since they are all copies generated from the same original
digital file. I also wouldn't be surprised if there were some online
companies who offer this same service.

Yes it is possible. It can be costly so choose your images well. Locally can
be very expensive $8.00 per slide. I found a company online that will charge
around $3.00 per slide. Less if you have more than 30. They have been great
to work with. I had about 23 images to do I e-mailed in 4 separate files.
The files were so large that I had to break them up. These guys were so
patient. I think I tried 5 times to e-mail them the files they waited and
worked with me . The slides have been great. Turnaround time was very good.

Replying to several posts on this.
First, as has been noted by others, yes, it is very possible to convert a
digital photo to slide. The kind of place you are looking for is called a
"service bureau".
Not only is it possible to make slides from digital, but I go a complete
circle. I take my original photo on slide film. I scan that, remove dust
specks, do any color corrections required and write the image out to disk.
Then I ship the disk to a service bureau to create perfect, dust-free
duplicates. As soon as I can find a digital camera of the quality that I
want and a price I can afford, I will skip the first step. Although I don't
plan a camera purchase anytime soon, my next one will probably be digital.
One person wrote about having a .jpg converted to slide. Unless you have no
other choice, this is not a good idea. JPEG has its value where small image
size is important, such as in creating a web page. JPEG is not well suited
to creating high quality graphics and, by its very design, destroys image
quality. It introduces artifacts into the image. The artifacts are worst
where there is a sudden transition in brightness, such as at the edge of a
pot. For continuous tone photos, the effect is minimized. JPEG artifacts are
exacerbated if you apply sharpening to the image.
For the best image quality and best portability across Windows, Mac, and
Unix platforms, store images in TIFF format. Photoshop format (.PSD) is also
widely accepted.
Another person wrote about a possible loss of quality going from digital to
slide. The slide writers in current use are capable of writing to film at a
resolution higher than that of the film grain. If there is loss in image
quality it would come from a different point in the process or improper
equipment setup. Alternatively, if the original photo was a high resolution
digital photo, you might say that there is a loss of detail in the process
due to the introduction of film grain.
Finally, no one has mentioned this yet, but I thought I'd better interject
it: The move to digital format brings with it an additional problem - color
management. What you see on your monitor is not necessarily what will be
reproduced on the slide that is created from your digital image. How do you
make the two match? That's what color management is all about. The issue
gets more complicated when you introduce the variables of printers and inks.
If accurate color reproduction is important to you, you must learn about
color management.

While anything over 8 Mega pixels is over kill for a slide, it should be
noted that the more Mpics the more you can crop and enlarge specific areas
or for that matter the whole picture. As one enlarges a picture, it becomes
grainy early and more pronounced with fewer Mpics.
