I took a digital photo of them with the Canon 5D on a Beseler Slide Duplicator. That seems to work better with these old, scratched films than scanning, but I'll probably try scanning, too, just to compare. I didn't do much in photoshop except invert them and spot them. They could probably use some sharpening but I plan to submit them to stock agencies that don't allow sharpening so I thought I'd see how they looked unsharpened.
