Color Transparency

Is there a direct process for making color transparencies from a D-SLR camera?

A friend of mine wants me to use my Nikon D50 (d-SLR) to make color transparencies of her jewelry. Can I do that? How many steps to this process?

I'm not sure why your friend would want to make transparencies from digital images. She would skip the cost, expense, and time of the transfer steps, _AND_ get far better quality images in terms of sharpness, by taking taking the photos directly using slide film in a regular film camera.

If she _REALLY_ wants to have slides made from digital picture files, find a photo lab in your area that deals with professional photographers. I've had to go this route once. What they'll most likely do (what they did with my work) is make a large paper print from the digital file, then use take a picture of that using slide film.

I've tried making slides using overhead transparency sheets in my printer. Even using the highest quality print dpi, the results were useless...

If she needs to make a "slide show" presentation to a group meeting, she could always store the images digitally on a CD in a PowerPoint presentation - most meeting places have digital projectors these days....
