Scanning Slides?

**CarolsCritterCare** · 10-16-2008, 11:03 AM

I have a bunch of old family slides that I have been trying scan into the computer....BUT 98% of them dont work

How do I scan slides?

Most of them are coming out very dark and even though I have dusted them I am see dust marks.

Many dont come out clear or just poor quality, but if I put them in the projector and look at them they are fine.

Is there a way to scan these so I can put them on disk??

Your scanner needs to be equipped with transparency capability and set on transparency.
