I will try scanning a slide David Kesner sent me and will add resolution to 
it through a few tricks I have learned over the years, then print it on 
photo paper with my new Epson 750 photo printer. I will report the results 
back to the list.

Probably true no matter what results I see... =)

There is a scanning page somewhere that has some good tips aobut scannign 
slides. Your are very nice, but I think you woul dbe surprised how much more 
information you can capture with a few tweaks/hints from that other site. I 
will look that up tonight too, unless someone else knows it off the top of 
your head?
