Need help: Scanning & Expanding slides.

Ah HA! Now I remember! Dog, so you are the one who's work I admired! Those are some nice scans. What model and where did you find it?

Thanks!

I use an Epson V100 - I got mine at CompUSA - but Gordon Brothers has liquidated all their stores so you'll need to go some where else. I googled the scanner and they are available all over. I saw prices from $99-$129.

Dog/Rick,

I just read a review about the V100 and one user said that the scanner automatically cropped his slides 15% which he was not able to over ride even in professional mode. Has this been a problem for you two?

I am no computer wiz - I can't tell you why his would do that, but its not a problem I've encountered. I've always gotten the full picture.

I just bought a Cannon CS8800F and I really like it. You can scan 12 frames of 35mm film or 4 frames of 35mm slides. It's an LED scanner so there is no warm up time like the old ones.

Thanks loads guys. All good info. Now I feel empowered to make an informed decision!

Sam, have you made a deciscion on this yet? I have boxes and boxes of color slides from 1954 to 1980. I just started to go through them today and it's a disaster trying to load antiquated projectors and viewers and the like. I need to scan several hundred slides for my family. I have pictures of relatives my kids have never seen.
