A menu will drop down and you can click "Save a copy as", I think, to save the image in its edited form.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-38382179896739644212009-01-25T11:13:00.000-06:002009-01-25T11:13:00.000-06:00You seem to be doing exactly what I've been unable...You seem to be doing exactly what I've been unable to do. I know this must sound dreadfully dumb, but how do I transfer the picture on the slide to either Picasa or My Pictures as a picture, not a picture of a slide?<BR/>I've managed to get it into Picasa all right from my Epson Perfection 3170 scanner and there enlarge and edit to show only what I want. But if there's a way to save it at that point, I haven't been able to find it. I invariably end with a picture of a slide.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008266619809122443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-72455875449291828732009-01-13T12:27:00.000-06:002009-01-13T12:27:00.000-06:00Thanks for the response.Thanks for the response.J.

The scanner overcompensates when there's a lot of contrast in the photo. I've read in various reviews that this is a common complaint with this scanner.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-34592690068109064512009-01-11T23:21:00.000-06:002009-01-11T23:21:00.000-06:00My wife and I are looking into getting a slide sca...My wife and I are looking into getting a slide scanner for our slides of Ecuador taken in the 60's and 70's, but did not know what features to look for in the various choices. What do you mean when you write it "loses detail in large light areas"?J.

There are probably several thousand slides sitting in their slide trays. And I used to take slides, too. No one has looked at one of them in years. What a shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
