Hi,

You can scan your old diapositive using a scanner provided with special slide attachment or you can use a slide projector project on white wall or a screen projection using a standard digital camera to shoot each slide. If you have the time this is the best way to produce a great work. This need time to adjust parameter if you can link your camera directly to the computer like Canon or Nikon you can produce fantastic result.

Regards,

YR

Hi,

PhotoStory is a photo and video editing program. You can scan pbotos, but I would not do this. Your scanner most likely has better scanning software, and I suggest that you use it. Once you have the photos scanned, then use PhotoStory to create a video slideshow using your photos.

Hi

As JohnCB says - better to use your scanner software.

However there is an issue that you will have to deal with - because the diapositives are in glass frames - here I presume you mean the film is sandwiched between two thin sheets of glass - you are may get reflection of the scanner light source off the glass reducing the contrast of the image.

If your scanner has a source / document setting for glossy photographs, try this setting first, scan at 300dpi and if necessary use the advanced settings for the scanner to iprove contrast / brightness if required.
