Title: Pics From Slides
Post by: Shakes.602 on October 22, 2006, 05:39:00 PM

I have a Whole Slide Box Full of Slides of My First Wife, She was Killed in a Car Accident in '89, that I would like to get Scanned and Transferred to a CD for My Daughter. Do I have to Destroy the Cardboard Edging around the Slide? Or is there Some "Professional" Way to do it? I have a Fine Canon Scanner, and I think My Daughter Needs to See These Photos of her Mother.
      Any Help Would Be Appreciated!!

No, you don't have to destroy the cardboard mount! Sounds like your scanner is a flatbed scanner.  I have a Canon flatbed scanner too, but it has a light in the lid to make scanning slides feasible.

That said, I usually take my slides to a photo lab that has a slide scanner and have them scan them for me at 4000 dpi.  I think I pay around $1.25 a slide.

Thanks for Answering Weasel!! My Flatbed Canon has a Light on the Base, which means Black Squares.
   As far as Me Paying that for them, at this Time, I cant,  BUT  I  WILL  have it done. For My Daughters Sake its a small Price to Pay!
   Thank you Sir!  :thumbsup:   I  DO  Admire Your Photos, Very Much!!  :archer:
