Yep, bought an Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV for my eMAC 10.4. Does a
fantastic job with slides and 35mm negatives. Cost just over $ 300.00

What if you have a whole collection of slides you want to digitize?
Has anyone used a "multiple slide scanner"?
I think I need one.
I already have a flat bed that does one at a time.
Would take a hundred years.

Diana -
I am facing the same thing - digitizing my whole teaching collection - about
5000 slides. Just recently I did high-resolution scans of 200 slides my dad
shot in the Alaskan arctic between 1951 and 1975 (I put 100 of them on my
website at http://iweb.tntech.edu/wpitelka/Digital/dad/FAP.htm) and it was
a huge job. With my teaching collection, I figure I will start with the
ones I need for specific slide shows, and then move from there, just doing
them in small batches over time.
When I went through my dad's professional collection of several thousand
slides, I discovered that my brother-in-law had a "stack-feeder" for a Kodak
carousel projector, and that drastically simplified the selection process,
since I was determined to look at every single slide. It would be great to
find a slide scanner with the same feature, but I am afraid that it would be
prohibitively expensive. It's the kind of thing that a university media
department might own.

My flatbed that does slides and negatives will do about 8 slides at a time, at max resolution, it takes about 20-30 minutes per batch. Load it and go do something else for awhile.
It will do 4 strips of negatives at a time.

Thanks Vince:
Wow 5,000 slides is a lot to scan!
Yes, I have lined up an appointment
with the slide librarian to find out
what machine they use.
(And if I can use it.)
I too believe it must be very expensive.
Beyond my budget.

Since scanners run between $500-$600 (so I hear) I would suggest you
consider using www.slideplus.com . Someone on
Clayart recommended them, I tried them for a couple of shows & the quality
is excellent. For a 3 day turn around they charge $1.99 per slide but if
you can wait two weeks, it's only $.99 per slide. My thinking is that
unless your collection is approaching 500-600 it might be more cost
effective to use slideplus to digitize the collection & save the $500 to
invest in a digital camera. Just a thought.
Turnin' & burnin' in the Texas heat!

A great flatbed photo scanner is the Epson Expression 10000 XL. The =3D
scanner has an 11" X 17 " scanner bed and can scan negatives and slides =
=3D
as well as photos, art work etc.. The scanner comes with attachments to =
=3D
scan up to 30 slides in a template at a time. It will scan in an =3D
extremely high resolution and has a built in system for color balance =3D
that is similar to Photoshop built into the scanner. This is an =3D
expensive scanner and buying one would depend on how much you use such a =
=3D
tool. I use the one I have all the time. I have 40 year old commercial =
=3D
Sandak slides that I am saving on disc so I will make sure the images =3D
are not lost. Non of these slides have deteriorated yet, but it may be =3D
a matter of time. =3D20
=3D20
The scanner is one that no one could go wrong with buying, but Epson may =
=3D
make another smaller one that also does an exceptional job. This =3D
scanner is about $2,500 on sale.=3D20

The Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO is under $1000 and works extremely well.
I've batch scanned lots of slides and the quality is more than adequate
for web, projection and 8 x 10 printing applications. It's not that quick,
though. Scanning a batch (12) at high resolution can take an hour.
Scanning stuff yourself gives you a chance to clean up small problems like
dust.
It also does documents and negatives.

I bought and use a Canon Canoscan 4400F. It was under $100 a couple of year=
s ago. It converts to PhotoShop Elements four (4) images at a time. Incredi=
ble quality once you figure out how to tweak your resolution etc. I knew I'=
d only be using it for several days to clear away 40+ years of slides. Also=
makes you do a bit of clutter busting, and the feeling is akin to spring c=
leaning + a trip down memory lane which I'd been putting off. There were hi=
gher priced models out there which processed a kazillion slides at a time, =
but I didn't want to have to go into business to make the gadget pay for it=
self, and the folks who will process for you are very pricey for what it is=
. That's the sum of my research on slides to PSE.
Couldn't agree more with Mel J re the uses of a website --it's a cyber howd=
y from me, no sales, no PayPal, no bells and whistles. Music, and flash ban=
g whop stuff is buttock-clinchingly awful. Also, I've been lucky with folks=

Well, we're deep into the 3rd or 4th day of below freezing temps. Four inch=

Medlars referred to in Romeo and Juliet. For our English friend, Steve M, =
these are all-in wrestler American Robins. Seattle has a maritime climate, =
and it's pretty unusual to have this blast linger. Hats off to those of you=
who feed horses 9 months of the year and ride them 3.
