I had boxes of 35mm slides we took over two decades ago when on trips. I finally bought an Ion 2pc slide and film scanner. i put only 63 photos from slides onto my computer today. many more to go.
I'm not putting pics of flowers, and trees, etc. lots of those. anyway, i got mine on Amazon. twenty dollars cheaper than best buy was.
it took me a bit to get it loaded and working but I did it.

the photos scanned in quite large into the photoimpressions 6 that came with the scanner. i opened them again in windows live and edited them down in size.
i changed what showed as 100 percent, down 50 and then again down 50. then usually down 70 percent again.
this pic i did down to 55.7kb which shows 454x294 pixels and dimension.
i always make pics smaller so i can email or post them.
here is one of my son when younger.
i haven't played with this a lot. just got it today.

I scanned my in-laws slides and then copied them to cd's for them. It took a while but it was fun seeing them "back then".
I only did the ones with people in them. Was fun being able to improve on the pictures. I just wish that my MIL had kept the negatives. My Mom did and they were much easier and faster to scan.

I use an older HP Scanjet 4370 with a TMA - scans paper and film, $30 on ebay used.
I have a large collection of slides going back to the 40's - if anyone wants to throw theirs out, throw them my way, I will gladly pay postage!!
