You need to get a special kind of scanner to
do slides, negatives and other
transparencies. I use an Epson 3200 Photo
scanner. This does slides, color negs, B&W
negs, magazine pages, photos etc. You can
also buy scanners built just for 35 mm slides
and negs, these will do a slightly better job
than the Epson 3200 but don't have the
flexibility to do 2 1/4 negs or 4.5 X6 cm etc.

The Epson 3200 does a good enough job on
the 35mm to allow good 8X12 prints to be
made. I also have a Canon i9900 printer
which makes the best color prints I have ever
seen...as good as an excellent photographic
process. And being a old dark room guy, I am
pretty fussy about this.

Both the scanner and the printer are in the
$400-500 range.

I run all this with a Mac G-4 using Photoshop 7
but it could be run on a PC also. You do need
something pretty fast because scanned slides
need to be enlarged to be useful, and those
files can get huge.
