Hey Shenanigans, I saw your post in the best pic of the month thread, with the note about slide film. I have a lot of slides but have no idea how to digitize them except maybe to project them and then take a digital pic. Please educate me, if you can.
TIA

They make scanners specifically for slide film, well any 35mm film. They range anywhere from 100 to 1000's of dollars depending on quality, DPI and how fast they process film. However a lot of the half way decent desktop scanners will work fine. I have a little plastic bracket thing that holds the slides and you just put it in a plain old desktop scanner. I think the scanner I used was somewhere around 4800 DPI.

Do you mean I could do it with my HP printer/scanner? Cool beans if so
Thanks

Yup that's how its done. They should come out pretty good as long as the scanner has a decent DPI resolution.

GREAT!!! Right before I bought the Seeley in '79, I bought a Canon AE-1. I've got slides of a road trip from CA to CO with 2 CBX's and a Kawi 750 twin, and from the Super-bike races at Laguna Seca the same year!!!
thanks!

Sounds like there could be some good photos in there. If your scanner is not up to par and you still want to digitize them you can send them over to me and I can scan them for you.
