To begin your slide, go to "File," "New" in the drop-down menus. Choose "RGB true color" as the Data Type and "Film Recorder 4k" as the Image Size. Since 35mm film is black, you should next set the background to black. You may then create your image or import your photo into Photostyler.

When you save your file, go to the drop-down menu in the upper left of your screen; choose "File," then "Save As," and save the file as a .tga file. Under "options," choose "RLE Compression." We have installed on our machine all the fonts which came with Photostyler as well as with Windows.

Photographic Specialties is no longer producing slides and transparencies. I have been self-employed for 35 years, but looking forward to retirement since my wife died five years ago. With the decline of conventional photography and the recent recession, the availability of film and chemicals as well as the volume of work has declined to such an extent that it is no longer possible to have fresh chemicals to develop film. I hope that if you still need conventional slides and transparencies, you will be able to find someone who can produce them for you. Thank you for your orders over the years.
