Slide projection – no longer up-to-date?
Especially nowadays, when everybody is talking about megapixels and gigabytes, it seems to be an anachronism when committing oneself to slides and the related technology. With the entire euphoria for digital photos, however, the ad- vantages of slides are often forgotten. Compared to an average digital photo, slides contain a hundred times more information which is the reason why the quality of the image projected from a slide is stilled unrivalled:

Besides, the problem of archiving digital photos has not yet been solved. Digital and com- puter technology are subject to a fast change. Therefore, you cannot take it for granted, for example, that you will be able to read CDs or
DVDs which are written today in 10 or 20 years with the devices of the time. But carefully manu- factured and stored silver gelatin prints will last for several centuries. For digital photos, there is still no solution for a durable and colourfast archiving.
After all, slides can be digitised for effects, electronic mailing and storing by scanning. The reversed way from a digital photo to an analogue slide is also possible, but involves considerable costs, and the result strongly depends on the resolution used when taking the picture.
