The Costco photo people can't scan slides mounted in metal frames, only those in cardboard or plastic, so I might have to do it your way. Thanks for sharing!Marian B.

Even the cardboard was falling apart on their frames! One night we set up the projector and screen and had a slide show, and I put the digital camera on a tripod and photographed each image on the screen. It wasn't a perfect solution, and we are still having small batches of the slides professionally scanned every couple of months. But now we can enjoy all the images digitally, and I've been using them on my blog.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219561941481203089.post-87136136405701966342011-10-05T07:36:27.461-04:002011-10-05T07:36:27.461-04:00Michelle, Good luck sorting!
