To me, slides are the best
means to visualize a feeling -
unsurpassed in expressing
colours, shapes, light, and
moods in a differentiated
manner.

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:
Completely without pixels, flicker-free, and
unbeatable both in contrasting and colour rende-
ring.
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.
