I'm scanning 127 square slides on an Epson 700 while I'm getting ready to start digitizing with a camera. According to Epson's instructions the shinny side should be down. After I scan should I then flip horizontal in Photoshop so as not to be backwards?

Shiny side down should result in correct scan orientation. For me imagining it is a tiny print to be scanned helps me remember (so you'd want the print side down).

Thank you for your response. By the way, after all these years I still love your icon!!! Finding the positive side of a 35mm slide is a piece of cake. The older 127 slides are a different story. Very difficult. I have read much of Konrad's tips. However even in this article he doesn't state if all slides positive side down need to be reversed to be in the correct viewing side before bringing into LR or PS. It seems to me when the positive side is down on the 127 slides and the Kodak blue logo is showing the scans come out backwards which means the image is reversed and needs to be flipped. However I don't have and slides with writing or other means to check this out. These are landscape slides from earlier times for a historical society so I'd like to get them correct. As there is no money involved (surprise! small historical societies don't have much of a budget!) I would like to get this correct the first time and not have to do more work on them. Thanks for any help! BobComment

Seems like if you're holding the slide up to your eye and it is backwards, that is the way to lay it on the scanner.Learn by teaching

Guess I'll just go with the shiny side down and flip them. Thank you.Comment

Being a 'newbie' I'm not sure whether this is the best section to post a query on scanning (as opposed to scanners), but Software doesn't seem appropriate. I've searched the forum in vain before creating this thread.

I have been given the unenviable task of scanning in some 1500 Kodachrome 126 format slides from the 60's and 70's.
I'm looking for a reasonably priced scanner that will let me do this, however, from some of the comments throughout the internet, the biggest problem doing this is finding...10-17-2008, 06:33 PM -
Hello,
I recently purchased a Epson 4990 Flatbed. I have a lot of slides to scan. It takes about 8 minutes to scan a slide with digital ice on at 2000dpi.
How does this compare to the Nikon Coolscan film scanners (or any other slide/film scanner with Dig. Ice)

I might have another job coming in but I have to be able to scan slides. I have an Epson Perfection 1640SU scanner that is about 10 years old. How can I tell, or what do I need to be able to scan slides in?

My scanner is an HP ScanJet 3970 and has an attachment to scan slides. My problem is that I have some old slides that are too large to fit into the attachment. Does anyone know how I can scan these? Any help will be appreciated.03-06-2008, 09:53 PM
