Hi Barb, Both of the Mormon Family History Centers near me have such a device, freely available. You place the film in it, just like a regular microfilm viewer. When you have just the image and size you want, instead of printing it (which is an option) you press the doodad on the attached computer and a digital copy is made. The image being further adjustable, right there, as to darkness and brightness. It's great. And not even the printing charge. Take it home on the thumb drive. I understand that this computer attached viewer is expensive so maybe not all centers have them yet. Hugh **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
