[QUOTE="asking, post: 1622853, member: 336627"] A few years ago I wanted to reduce the space that the boxes of slides took up. Some of them were curling badly in their cardboard mounts. I set up the old projector and the screen in the small bedroom with the curtains drawn. The two were only about 7 feet apart but I got a nice bright, sharp image on the screen after waiting for the slide to 'pop'. I set up my everyday digital camera on a solid stand,more or less in line with the beam i.e. square with the screen, then I took a photo every time my wife brought up a fresh slide up. We had to pause when the camera battery needed charging. I guess that we copied about 20 x 36-slide cartridges at a sitting before we got tired of it. The colours in the slides had faded badly particularly in the Perutz film that I used occasionally in the 1960s. I think Kodachrome survived unchanged but Ilford ones didn't. Anyway, whether the colours are now good or bad, it is good to get them into a better storage system. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
