Scanned images that are stored on CD or DVD can be copied and stored in a safe location like a bank vault. When your images are transferred from your slides and/or negatives and placed on CD or DVD, you have much easier access to your images without dragging out the slide projector and screen.
 

Scanning film gives better results than scanning prints. This is true because the film is the original image and not a second-generation copy. This means that the film contains much greater detail and contrast than you can ever extract from prints.
