Kraig, How did you take pictures of the slides? I recently purchased an Epson Perfection 4180 Photo flatbed scanner, and have not made my way through all the instructions for slides. I have boxes and boxes of slides from when the kids were growing up. I want to copy the slides to CDs for the kids to each have a copy. I also have Adope Photoshop Elements v3 that I am in the process of learning. I would welcome a jump start! I'd really like for the CDs to be usable in a DVD/CD player so they can see the pictures on a TV screen. Of course the kids know more about this technology than I do. I just want to surprise them! Grandmas CAN learn something new! jean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kraig Jones" To: <SCANNERS-PHOTOS-Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 7:24 AM > Hi, > 1.
