I see that it scans slides. Do they have to be unmounted or will it scan mounted slides?

Mounted works fine. The holder will contain three slides. If you get the orientation wrong, it's easy to correct. Quality of scan? Hard to say. I did not have the best camera for most of my slide shooting.

It scans any thing you put in the frame, Mounted or un mounted. only down side is, quality may not be to your acceptance.I think It is well worth the cost. Better quality will cost more $$.

Use a printer scanner for slides and 35MM film and you should be able to scan mounted slides. Both of my printer work

I scanned over 400 slides, no focus problem. Make sure the slides are level in the slide rack and that it is inserted into the scanner slowly and straight. I didn't use the flip over cover. No focus problems.

You are supposed to be able to. I never used it to scan slides but did scan negatives and it worked great.

No, Kathleen, your slides won't be damaged in any way and this scanner does a good job. I was real satisfied with the negatives I scanned also and glad I ordered the negative carriers when I ordered the slide carriers.

Sorry, Patricia, no it doesn't scan slides. I have also wished the same thing, although I only have a small amount of slides - it would still be nice

Yes, it is built into the firmware of the scanner. There is no separate software on a disk provided. During setup, you select the Film Type to be scanned - Negatives, Slides (Positives), or B & W. The firmware converts the Negative color images to Positives automatically. I personally have not scanned any Negatives, but I see that other reviewers have done so, with good results. This scanner is completely stand-alone. It does not need a computer to perform its scanning tasks. The stored JPG images can then be transferred to a computer for any further processing as desired.

Don't know. It doesn't take good images. I bought a scanner. Haven't tried it with slides yet.

I only used it for slides , but make sure you aren't looking at the reverse image when you scan the film.

No it doesn't scan slides. It only scans photos but now the end result shows a faint line across every photo scanned. This was cited as a problem that other users have had as well.

It scannes slides as soon as you hit the button. Since you have to advance the slides manually, its irrelevant how fast the system works. It scans faster than you can advance the slides is a better answer. Hope this helps.

Yes, it will scan the slides; but , as you suggest, you will have to take them out of their frames. There is a holder for 35mm slides, but not 2-1/4. One alternative, if you want to leave them in the holders, would be to lay the slides out in the 8x10 frame, choose Document Type: "Reflective (with film area guide)" then scan as a group. You'd need to go back with Photoshop and "cut" the individual images apart. I sometimes use the option "Reflective (with film area guide)" to scan odd size negatives and transparencies.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

I think the scanner does a great job with 35 mm slides or negatives. It has a slide holder for 4 slides at a time.

No, this is not a slide scanner. That takes a special machine with a much higher resolution and brighter light. Search for "slide scanner" on Amazon, and you'll see several choices. They are scanner made specifically for scanning slides. Good luck.

If you are referring to negative slides in some kind of casing then no because the pictures scanned are actually running through the device vs. something being 'waved' over it.

The only way to scan 127 Superslides is to take them out of their mounts. It will scan up to 2" x 2" un-mounted.
