hi you can get special scanners that are dedicated to scanning slides in, my dad has one and along with photoshop (gimp is just as good) can really make a good job of it. if you are interested i can give you more details on the make and model my dad uses.

My Grandad has been trying to do this for ages. So far the conclusion we have reached is that scanners are too slow for this, and often don't work so well with slides anyway.

We haven't tried this yet, but getting a slide adapter for a digital camera sounds like a much better idea. It would at least be much much faster, and I think it will also be easier to get the lighting right.
