Anyone?
Got to be someone I can trust to get them back, so those who know something I don't about anyone who volunteers please watch my back via PMs... Only had an hour or two with the car, but I'd love to try and give something back to this fellowship of 914ers. pete |

Pete,
We tried to use our flatbed scanner for slides for a job my wife had. It failed and for a very good reason. The focal point of the scanner is at the top of the glass (or just past it). If your slides are mounted then the focal point will be off by the thickness of one side of the mount. What we ended up with is out of focus pictures. And yes our scanner said it would scan slides and it had an adapter to do it. I couldn't fix the problem with the equipment I had but you can get flatbed scanners that will change the focal point. We ended up buying a digital camera (I wanted one anyway), borrowed a slide projector and projected the slides, got them into focus (only had to do this once) and took digital pictures of them. Just an idea. Mike |
