I recently got hold of my dads old projector and now have a small itch to show some of my works using the projector and I was wondering how/if it is possible to convert a digital shot into a slide shot. In addition to the if and the how I would be interested to know the where as well - where (if the if is a yes) is it possible to get this service in the UK and now much can I expect to pay for it?
Thanks for all the help :)

The majority of the work I did with it in the lab I worked in was making 35mm slides of digitally created art. The artists never seemed to have any complaints. Most of the time we were printing onto Ektachrome. Granted, if I wanted to have a digital image of mine printed onto a slide, I'd have it done larger than 35mm so probably on a Rhino LVT. I never experimented personally with printing my own digitized photos onto film, but the results I saw from other people's work were of acceptable quality for their intended purposes. Would I print an Ilfochrome? Probably not if I could help it. But for putting into a projector I think the results are adequate.
More uses than just the one plus it will do what you want.

Sync your shutter to the LCD refresh rate and play with the brightness/contrast for best results.

Displaying a hires framebuffer on a 7 inch CRT? I think a hood, a cheep-o film camera, and my LCDs would produce far far superior results. No?
I know most of the cheaper films I worked on scan at 4k. For example Jimmy Neutron and etc. Some of those were even upsampled from 2k plates. Higher budget films and ritzy TV commercials tend to use 8k. I personally haven't noticed many productions using higher resolutions than 8k - But I guess there are. But that's the motion picture industry too. Stills would be different I guess.
You can acquire devices like that on a home budget though?
Looks pricey to me.
You picked the most expensive one. They start at $0.99

I can't see how photographing an LCD of the type in common use as a computer monitor gets even close to that resolution, unless you do some fancy multi-exposure thing with different sets of pixels, moving the LCD appropriately between the exposures. A single exposure of an LCD screen onto any decent slide film will show the screen pixels easily, unless some diffusion or defocus is used.
Definity LCD film recorders use a 15 megapixel monochrome LCD screen with a holographic diffusing system - and being intended for 35 mm motion picture use, they do not usually write to the full size of a 24x36 film format.
Remember that a CRT film recorder uses a monochrome tube and gives three exposures, each through a different separation filter. This means that the resolution can be higher than you could obtain from a colour CRT.
I have no idea what the achievable resolution of the ProPalette 7000 is. I know that it is unlikely to be 4k. Alpha has used one, so he may be able to tell us.

To run it, once you get the machine setup (it's about the size of a printer), you load the film into the camera, mount the camera on the machine, import the image into RasterPlus, print, and then have the slides developed by a local lab.

More bang for the buck. More versatility. No carousels to mess with. Trust me, the fun of things like slide projectors gets old quickly. You can do the exact same thing, right down to the sound of slides changing, digitally a lot cheaper, faster and with better results.
Looks pricey to me.
that or ebay hates me

Sorry, wasn't meaning to recommend any particular model, just the concept.

Points taken and a few things in there I didn't know. :thumbup: Thanks!
