Does anyone out there know a good way to digitize 35mm slides OTHER than taking video camera shots of the displayed slides and digitizing the vcr output? Any help will be appreciated <DW>.

They probably have an 800 number. -pd

Any help will be appreciated <DW>. This method I explain is the ultimate way. And can be expensive. Best thing to do is to go to the Post Production Facility House. You can put your through the Telecine, and that out put put through the D1, so you get Y,U,V, digital output, or put through D2, which is composite Digital Output.

One of the neat features was a film holder so you can scan a roll of UNMOUNTED slides or negatives. Unfortunately, it lists for nearly $10,000 (you do get PhotoShop for free, however). The other comparable product is the BarneyScan, which is also very good. But people who have used both seem to prefer the Nikon. Just does 35mm, however, so you have to get the Barneyscan if you need to scan larger transparencies. I don't have a national number for Nikon, but the central regional sales manager (Electronic Imaging Department) is Roy Edenson in Dallas.

Any help will be appreciated <DW>. If you have access to a color flatbed scanner that doesn't take slides, (like some of the cheaper Sharp models, I think) you can always get a an enlarged color print made of the slide and scan it. Get a pro-quality color lab to make the print for you. It shouldn't cost more than $20 for an 8.5x11. (Kodak makes reversal color print paper especially for printing slides.) Unless you have a really good video camera and excellent digitizing hardware, scanning a transparency or print should produce a shaper image (IMHO). - Ted Drude (drudetb@ingr)
