How to Make Copies of Slides in a Canon Copier

During the days of film photography, and even now in the digital age of photography, 35mm slide film was also known for it accurate color reproduction. The film was often the choice of professional and advanced amateur photographers who wanted a high degree of color accuracy. Once processed, slides are typically mounted into small holders for ease of handling and storage. Since the image on the slide is in "positive" form, meaning you can view the image the way you saw it when you photographed it, you can easily photocopy the slide and have an instant reproduction of it.

Things You'll Need

Anti-static cloth

Instructions

- 1
  Prepare the slide for photocopying by cleaning the slide using an anti-static cloth. This specially designed cloth will remove dust and debris off of the slide and prevent dust from collecting on the slide during the photocopy process.
- 2
  Place the slide face down on the Canon Copier.
- 3
  Select "Photograph" as your original. While the slide is not a photograph print at this point, by selecting photograph the copier will make a higher quality image as opposed to a straight copy.
- 4
  Press the "Magnification" control on the copier to enlarge the slide. Depending on the resolution of the copier, there will be some limitations to the amount you can enlarge the picture.
- 5
