Hi,
Can anyone advise how you download images from slides onto the PC, please? I'm new to photo software, so please keep it simple.

Thanks,
Dorre

First, you need to be able to scan the slides to create digital image files that you can save/edit on your PC. That requires some hardware -- specifically a scanner, ideally one that can scan slides.

After that, it really depends on what software you have. Some scanners come with their own software, and there are usually pretty good instructions with the manual. Even if you are using Photoshop to deal with the images, you need to use the scanner's software to install the driver or something. But if you use Photoshop, you can usually access the scanner information through the Import feature.

Thaks. I've got scanner & copious amounts of software. I also work my photos in Serif Photo Plus 10 (very similar to Adobe Photoshop) . i'll have a dabble now I've got some idea. I wasn't sure you could just scan them in.

Thanks again.

some slide scanners are better than others. things to check: dynamic range (4 is good) and pixel resolution (4000 dpi is good). even though the film quality deteriorates steadily, some slides may have higher resolution and higher dynamic range than most scanners can interpret. using the term "dpi" with film is misleading, as the chemicals produce somewhat amorphous microscopic colour zones.

**Here's a cool semi free device[I used bright white matte construction board] you could build in 20 minutes...I know, just did, pay attention to set up pics on page 2 for how to measure for your particular scanner. He doesn't say but you can infer from the photos.. ...**

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
