The projector spit out a small plastic piece that looks like a 1" x 1" frame. The motor works and the lens is good. I think it is repairable.

What's the best way to get them into the computer?" is a frequently asked question I get from both friends and readers. Of course, the easiest solution is to send them off to someone else. But that can get expensive, and many people don't want to subject their prized photos to the disinterested hands of a technician. That leaves you with a scanner as your only option. For speedy, unattended scanning, a dedicated slide scanner with an automatic feeder, such as the Nikon Coolscan V, is a good bet. After you're done with the slides, though, it becomes an expensive paperweight. So after the costs and benefits play out, your best overall choice turns out to be a really good flatbed scanner--like the Epson Perfection V700. The V700 improves upon its popular predecessor, the Perfection 4990 Pro, not to mention that it beats that model's price by about $50. You might also notice, however, that its design radically differs from last year's models; a switch from all rounded curves to sharp angles and corners. I happen to prefer the flat-topped version, because every large object on my desk must be able to hold a pile of something or other. Speaking of which, you'll need to allocate a big chunk of desk space for the V700: 6 by 12 by 20 inches. Epson includes a variety of carriers in the box: one holds 12 slides, another four six-frame film strips, one for two 4x5 transparencies, and one for eight medium-format frames. They're all well designed and easy to load, and they each snap into a notch to lock in place on the scanbed. My biggest problem with the myriad mounts is finding places to put them. A version of the V700, the V750-M Pro, also offers a liquid mount, as used by drum scanners. This allows the film to press directly against the glass, which maximizes sharpness and minimizes artifacts. Though the V700 doesn't supply this, it does use separate lenses for reflective (hard-copy) and transmissive (slides and negatives) originals; since the latter generally need to be optically enlarged far more than the former, the lenses need to be optimized differently. One lens is designed for optimum resolving at a horizontal resolution of 4,800dpi, the other, 6,400dpi. Of course, the scanner can interpolate way beyond that, and for small originals, you generally find yourself in interpolation territory. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bev gyori" To: Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 12:37 PM Subject: [SlideCube] (no subject) How do you scan slides to digital format? _______________________________________________ http://www.armory.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/slidecube From tvigue at adelphia.net Wed Nov 29 18:22:53 2006 From: tvigue at adelphia.net (Tony Vigue) Date: Wed Nov 29 18:26:24 2006 Subject: [SlideCube] Scanners References: <003b01c71313$d1ecec60$6401a8c0@JoricamJulius> <001301c7136c$876f4300$140210ac@Hal> <000801c713bc$cd145670$6401a8c0@BOBMAIN> Message-ID: <000b01c71426$714b6df0$140210ac@Hal> Thanks Bob, I will copy her (him?) on this. I agree that for most slides, especially Kodacolor at ASA25 which does not enlarge well, your method would work just fine. I have not completed my slides, only experimented with doing what you did, also tried an old RasterOPs unit with pretty good results and also used a Minolta Auto Bellows III slide copier that I have left over from my Army days in the late 60's. The biggest problem, if you could call it that, is corner distortion, but who looks at the corners anyway and besides, they can be cropped. All three methods have their drawbacks and advantages, but I also agree that you need a good digital imaging program to correct for aging and color issues. I have had good results with Adobe ImageReady, but any program that will do the basics seem to be fine. My problem is finding the time to do them, one at a time, over a thousand I am sure. They are all in cubes right now and I need to tweek my projector and just DO IT before I croak.

I just finished 7000 35 mm slides covering the period from 1964 to 1995. I scanned the slides on an HP 5470c which scans three slides at a time. Then used Photoshop to do all necessary clean up, color correction, etc. Then used Adobe Premiere Pro to make a video slide show (actually an mov "movie" file with titles, music, etc.). Finally, I burned each slide show onto a DVD. As it worked out, a single DVD, with each slide shown for 6 seconds, holds one slide cube "box", i.e., the cardboard box which holds 16 slidecubes (16 slidecubes x 40 slides per cube = 640 slides; 640 slides x 6 seconds per slide = 3840 seconds or slightly over one hour). So, my 7000 slides results in ten one-hour DVD slide shows. Finally, to digitally archive the digital slide images, I burned the original scanned images on a set of CDs; this is to allow prints, etc. to be made - the mov files aren't suitable for that. It took some time, but my family appreciated it and I enjoyed doing it. Objectively, the original 35 mm slides shown with the slide cube projector on a screen compared with the DVD slide show projected on the same size screen with an InFocus digital projector always results in the DVD being better quality than the slide. This is due in large part to the enhancements done with Photoshop (some of the slides are 40 years old and beginning to fade). Hope this isn't "too much information".

I'm using the expensive-ish approach - a Nikon Coolscan 5000ED with the SF-200 autofeeder. A cube's worth of slides conveniently fits in the autofeeder. It requires more than just dumping the slides in, of course. They have to all be oriented the same way, and though the ICE technology does wonders for dust, large bits of dust (including specks of paper from the mounts) will still degrade the image. And the autofeeder will reverse the order of the slides. So, I dump out a stack and draw a line down one edge to make it faster to reorient them when I'm done scanning them. Then I go through them, simultaneously blowing dust and mold :( off, changing the orientation, and reversing the order. Since the scanning is all automated and unattended, I tell it do the most-overblown multisampling and all that, which takes about 6 minutes per slide. When the scanning is done I set the orientation back to the way they should be projected (by rotating them so they all have the line on the same edge). I have >10,000 slides, of which I've gotten through about 2000 in the last few years... I tend to go in bursts, scanning a drawer of 16 cubes at a time, and then months before the next one :) John -- John DuBois spcecdt@armory.com KC6QKZ/AE http://www.armory.com/~spcecdt/
