PhotoMaker, a digital converter that transfers 35mm film negatives and slides into digital photos, appealing to anyone who has film negatives and slides taken from traditional film cameras. They can then archive or revive them into a digital format for sharing in online photo albums, social networking sites or storing them on disc or in the computer.
PhotoMaker offers 35mm film camera users, the most popular photographic format between 1960s to 1990s, a quick and easy option to quickly and easily convert their negatives into digital photos. With the PhotoMaker connected to a PC via a USB cable, it allows you to take 5 megapixel resolution digital photos of the slides or film negative and save them as common JPG or TIFF file format.
You simply place the film negatives or slides into the holder (supplied), slide the negative holder into the front slot of unit, and runs the software application on their PC to take a digital photo of the negative or slide. Images captured from PhotoMaker can then be managed, edited, corrected or enhanced using Arcsoft PhotoImpression, the image editing software bundled with PhotoMaker.
