Even though 35mm slides are an old technology they still offer one of the best ways to share images or give a professional presentation. Today one can take advantage of using digital cameras for their photos, imaging programs for their editing how to display their photos, and then put their digital images on 35mm slides for showing.

Before the explosion of digital photography, most all photos came from traditional film photography. This included many steps for developing, reviewing, and digitizing to achieve the same image quickly offered from a digital camera today. These extra steps created a great delay in arriving where digital cameras place us today in the use of digital photos.

Now we can quickly make use of digital photo advantages for:

• ease of selection in choosing the best
• clean up, editing, cropping, and improving of the image
• use in a layout template with borders and text to help create desired impression
  

Then the images are ready for use in many different mediums. One medium which should not be overlooked is recording your digital information back into the traditional film 35mm slides.
The advantages of using 35mm slides are:

• Image quality is high
• Slide projectors are old reliable technology
  ( Simplicity offers less chance of something going wrong and easier to fix if problems arise)
• Lower cost - slide projectors are available for less that 1/4 the cost of digital projectors
• Transportability - a pack of slides can be carried quite easily and slide projectors
  are usually found available at many locations
• Distribution is easy through mailing of slides
• Updates of presentations can be done quickly by adding or replacing of existing slides with new ones

With the above advantages in mind, 35mm slide output should be considered as a standard use of all digital graphics along with print.
