[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1622874, member: 234411"] Hello - I've not read through the other posts closely, but had the same challenge several years ago when deciding what to do w/ thousands of 35 mm slides (and a lot of family photos) - I bought a good Canon scanner w/ a transparency adapter for the slides (this is a must) - BUT my first suggestion is to try to preview the slides before scanning and really be brutal in throwing away what you feel is not needed - I probably discarded 80% of my slides & photos - just how many of these old (and often lousy slides) images does one or family need to see - many few than you will suspect? ONCE you have 'down sized' your collection, then the job will be much easier - depending on your scanner, many options will likely exist to alter how the slides/photos are scanned (e.g. elimination of defects, etc.) - good luck!
