As the reel images are so small (about 11.5mm x 10mm) you can use images from pretty much any source, including your Facebook/Instagram/Flickr/Snapchat/iPhoto libraries. However, the larger and better quality your photos are, the better quality your reels will look when magnified in the viewer. The images are landscape orientated square-ish rectangle. You should bear [...]
To get true 3D images you need to use a 3D camera in order to capture the left eye/right eye views needed to create a 3D illusion. The Fujifilm "FinePix REAL 3D W3" camera works well Click for more info about FinePix 3D camera (no longer manufactured but can be found on eBay etc.). [...]
If you want the reels to view as 3D (stereo) in the viewer, then you must either supply 3D camera image pairs and order our standard reel here: Custom View-Master reels from your images or choose our AI created reel from 2D images here: Customised 3D View-Master reels from your 2D images Of course, ordinary photos (2D) don’t view [...]
Reels have seven images. At first glance it may seem that our Retro-View (View-Master compatible) reels have many more than seven images but remember that the viewers are binocular and each eye requires its own image to create the 3D illusion. Hence the 14 image windows. However, almost all of the reels we supply are [...]
To use this lens calculator you need two measurements. First measure the width of your screen (or other projection surface) in metres. Then determine where your projector is to be positioned and measure the distance from the front of the lens to the screen, again in metres. This calculation assumes you are using a 35mm [...]
The 80 slide Kodak Carousel slide trays can take slides up to 3.2mm thick. So this includes our plastic 1.8mm slide mounts and glass 3mm slide mounts, as well as other slide mounts such as old fashioned card mounts or 'CS' or 'KLM' thin plastic mounts. However, the golden rule is not to mix slide [...]
There are few 35mm slide projectors made these days. Those that are made use the straight magazine or the vertical rotary magazine (and most often they take both). However, there are hundreds of second-hand slide projectors out there that are perfectly serviceable. The Kodak Carousel range of projectors were made for many years and were [...]
So you are using a Kodak Carousel slide projector that has an interval timer. Great, this allows unattended uninterrupted slide shows. .However, if you want your show to run without pauses after your last image then you must fill the magazine with slides. If you only use 60 slides, for example, most models of the [...]
That will depend on what film we are recording to. Here are the values: 35mm slides and negatives: 4096 x 2732 pixels 6x7cm transparencies and negatives: 8192 x 6702 pixels 5"x4" transparencies and negatives: 8192 x 6732 pixels Retro-View reels: 1390 x 1260 pixels Note that these are the actual values we record at and [...]
Absolutely not. Or more accurately, not necessarily. 300dpi is a convention for images destined to be press-printed onto paper, for optimum quality. However, 300dpi on its own is meaningless - you also need to define the final printed image size. So, the very same 'high resolution' 300dpi image printed at 5"x7" magically becomes a low [...]
