Wow! That's really nice. Thanks for sharing.

The Epson Perfection V550 photo scanner does a great high resolution job with 35 mm slides (as well as documents) and can be imported through Photoshop, etc. I assume your lantern slide is smaller than 8.5" x 11"?

Thanks guys, the entire slide is 3 x 4 and the image 2 x 2.75. The problem with the scanner is I will need to find one that has the attachment for transparencies which should cure my issue.

If anyone has an early color photographic slide, rather than hand colored, please email me photos of it illuminated and "dark" for comparison purposes.

incredible!

Unbelievable. I had to really give this a long and hard look before I was convinced that it was hand tinted and not an actual color slide. All of the nuance of color in the Sphinx is just sooooooo top notch. And I love seeing all of the different colors the artist used for the local people, in addition to the ballplayers.

Just absolutely amazing. I'd certainly love to paint it someday.

The Canon 9000F comes with the 3 'Film Guide Mounts' ...
None of them are specific to Your Film Size. Howevar, It is the Best that I found to make Photo's from Negatives. I went through 3-4 Suggested Makes and Models before I Chose What I thought was the Best. Wit the Canon 9000F, along wit a Handmade Mount (this is Not a Difficult task, once You see the mounts that come wit the Scanner, You'll See that they are just made out Plastic that hold the Negative above the Glass, Easy!)
I'm sure You can work Magic wit This Century ole' Beauty

Can't wait to see Your Finished Photo!!!
