Colour Slides Today.
In the seventies I saw a few professionally produced colour slide presentations made for industry.
All automated. Sound track, slide changing, fading etc.. After a couple of minutes getting used to it, it was just like watching a moving film. They were excellent. Nothing like the boring holiday slide shows the neighbours gave in the darkened front room. Being into darkroom work as my main hobby I didn't do much slide work. To me they were a thing that some publishers insisted on as well as some competitions. I developed a few rolls and experimented with 4 x 5 sheets in a tank, but never got enthusiastic about them. I see there is a good supply of film and chemicals for slides still available. With this in mind I was wondering, in this day and age of digital, are slides or original transparencies still a preferred medium in the publishing and printing world? Have they still got a use in industry? How do digital copies and prints from slides compare to negative film? In a nutshell, are they a commercial tool? Cheers all.

I’ve just posted a 35mm Velvia 50 and a 120 roll of Provia 100 to AG photographic to get processed
I like slides and still view them There is a place in the states called DR5 chrome that turn black and white film in to slides, even in 35mm they look great |

The Fuji filmsare gerat and could be still used commercially, but no way these days. Professionals only use digital for a good reason for them. Though 90% of the few professional I know use film when making images for themselves.
