Hi Tina
I know you'll be ready to kill me when you read my secret magical method of 
scanning Kodachrome and other colour slide films. ;-) But we'll still be 
friends though, wont we? :-)

Ok here we go.

I have been using an EPSON 4990 Flatbed scanner and scan 8 slides at a time. 
I drop them in place, click on scan and the machine does it! They appear on 
the computer screen, I select each image, click auto whatever it is for 
colour, contrast, levels whatever else comes up... They look cool &  I save 
to the "NEW SCANS FOLDER!" :-) Just my KISS theory. ;-) That's it! :-)

And that my dear is as simple as it gets. And recently I've been scanning a 
pile of Kodachromes before they are sent to the National Archives of Canada 
to join the already 280,000 images on file there. :-)

So hopefully over the next month or so I'll be able to do a show and tell 
with some images.
cheers,
ted
