Why use slides?
•Slides tend to be used a lot for photojournalism. They are useful because you can look at them on a light table and project them up for everyone to see. Being able to project your pictures in large format makes slides a great way to show off your work. Slides work differently than negative film, requiring different steps: •One downside of using slide reversal film as opposed to negative film is that you lose a step in the developing process and thus have one less opportunity to correct mistakes. With negative film, you have to make a print from your negative, during which time you can alter contrast, adjust exposure, and burn and dodge problem areas. •However, it is possible to make a print from a slide, but it requires an intermediary step. You must make a negative from the slide called an intermediary negative and then make your print from this. An important thing to keep in mind is that anytime you add an extra step, you lose a bit of quality. B&W and Color Slides use opposite rule
