You probably should get them in digital form and then transfer to paper.   LSTM (Laughing Silently to Myself) Click Daily to Give Free Food and Care to Animals: http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3

  Re: Older photographs Reply Contact We have a friend that is a professional photographer (does really artsy stuff too, won some awards).  My dad asked him if he could switch our slides to digital, and he said all he does is project them on a screen and take a new pic with the digital camera.  He said he's got some scanners, but the hours of time that would take would make the cost exorbitant, and most common people's digital cameras have a pretty comparable resolution anyway.  My dad did as he said, even made prints from the slides, and no one can even tell.  vankelderdogs.dutchbingo.net U-CH Alta-Tollhaus-Krieger Lamb Chop RA CL1-F CL1-R TT HIC TDI CGC ("Kenya", GSD) VPC's Coca-Cola CGC ("Coke", All American) Alta-Tollhaus' Bono ("Nikon", GSD)

But it's good to know that if I don't succeed, a photo store can do it!

  Re: Older photographs Reply Contact If you have a scanner and some free time, you can get a slide scanner attachment for many scanners and do it yourself at home. I'm not sure how much these things cost, but that's what we used at my high school in my photography classes. It's like a little cupholder-like tray that you stick the slide in to scan it. Might be worth looking in to if it sounds fun or you have a bunch of them!
