With over 2,000 35mm slides and the new digital world it is appropriate to want to scan them onto a CD. The issue was doing this at a cost that would not break the bank. I really did not want to buy a new HP printer with scanning capabilities. The only model with this capability costs $300.00. I have found the solution but it’s not pretty. The Memor-ease 35mm film and slide converter does a beautiful job BUT it scans pictures one at a time in a 4 slide holder. The cost is low at $50.00 and the package comes with Photoshop Elements 5.0.
The software will not work in Windows 7 but does operate in Windows XP and all Vista versions. Using Photoshop Elements you can do a Quick Fix or Full Edit before saving the scan. It’s a great opportunity to see pictures you haven’t seen in years including old friends. I am saving the pictures in a .jpeg format. I found this scanner in Costco. I will be working on this project for many months.
