10 reasons to use DiaDirekt

Do you know more reasons? Tell us!

1. No need to make it simpler

It takes between four and twenty minutes to scan a single photo negative or slide to meet the technical quality that a professional digital photo laboratory can achieve. This means that if you want to scan a little more than 500 originals it would take a single person between one and five full working weeks to complete the job. Do you not agree that you have other more fun things to do than sit by a scanner in you spare time? Let our staff take care of the work so that you can spend time on the digital photos instead!

2. Professional quality delivered to consumers

DiaDirekt offers consumers a level of picture quality that only print shops and professional photographers have had access to before. We continuously invest large sums in our production environment to keep as competitive as possible. That is why e.g. digital reduction of scratches and dust as well as colour restoration and grain reduction are included in our prices.

3. European customer comfort

We want you to feel comfortable in sending your originals to us. We are experienced in photography work since 1990 and we appreciate that your slides are important to you. That is why we work according to a documented Quality Policy and Environmental Policy. Our company is Swedish and all processing is performed in Europe.

4. It's your originals - protected confidentiality

You own the originals you send to us and no rights are transferred to us when we process them. Persons who handles your images are bound by confidentiality agreements. Our management of your images and personal data is designed to protect your privacy. That means that your images will not end up in the wrong hands.

5. Show your photos on a TV or a computer

To show slides you need a slide projector, projector screen and a dark room. When it comes to photo negatives and rolls of films you have to make new paper copies if you have lost your old ones, and traditional photo albums take time to prepare. Make it simple for yourself and show your photos on a TV or a computer!

6. Photos accessible again and you save space

There are plenty of photo negative clips, old photos, Polaroids and 35mm slides hidden in drawers, stored on shelves in garages, in shoe boxes and other storage boxes. When DiaDirekt scans your photos you get them delivered in nice full colour covers. All your pictures are then easily accessed and they fit on your bookshelf, instead of cramming up space in the attic or in your drawers.

7. Easy to share with others

When DiaDirekt transfers your images you always get a free copy. Share it with a friend or a relative - and make more copies yourself or ask for duplications here at DiaDirekt. There are many internet services offering you to upload your digital photos to the Internet and let your friends log in and enjoy your memories with you.

8. Enhance the digital photos at your convenience

We deliver the digital photos without any copy protection or other special requirements. You can easily edit the images e.g. cropping, calibrating colour or contrast, before using the photos for new purposes.

9. Use your photos in completely new ways

There are many companies specialising in fun and unique gifts for customers with images in digital format. When your images have been transferred by DiaDirekt, you can use them to create many different things, e.g. wall papers, pillows, jigsaw puzzles, coffee mugs, teddy bears and calendars - and much more!

10. Old originals deteriorate

Slides, photo negatives, developed photos and other originals deteriorate over time - especially if they are not kept under the right conditions regarding light, temperature and humidity. By using DiaDirekt your originals are transferred into digital photos that can be shared between computers without losing image quality.
