Momma don't take my Kodachrome away!

I'm using an Epson flatbed scanner I got a few years back, it was pretty high end then but there are newer better ones now. It can scan 8 images at time, takes about 15 minutes. I use Lasersoft's Silverfast AI software and Digitial ICE for dust removal. I still have to pull them into Photoshop to crop and adjust the color and contrast a bit more and remove any dust that the scanner software misses. It's time consuming but kind of fun; like opening a time capsule. I'm glad my dad went with slide film instead of prints which always fade and no one ever keeps good track of the negatives.
