This has been a very useful thread for me as I've tried my old flatbed scanner which was quite slow even with Vuescan software, but I have an old X-ray viewer which I used for sorting my slides and which may just be the thing. As it uses fluorescent light, I will obviously have to set the camera...

Usually Easter w/e iirc. Ernie

Thanks for that.....not unwilling to spend, but good to hear that others have had some success with it and that might be the way to go; cheaper than buying a new scanner for a few old slides! Aw ra best, Mate, Ernie

As you suggested, Vuescan does work, but to me is not so intuitive as Epsom's own software, but maybe OK with practice. In addition, the trial version inserts an unremoveable water mark which means having to buy the software, so it might be worthwhile looking at alternatives. Many thanks...

Thanks for that suggestion; will try it in the morning. Ernie

No it didn't, but I will have a look and see if I can find one. Thanks.

Hi All, I recently upgraded my computer to a Windows 8 64 bit system and wish to scan some slides using my Epsom Perfection 3200 Photo. Unfortunately, Epsom don't have a driver for this combination and I'm wondering if any of you have any suggestions, other than replacing the scanner...

Since upgrading my computer and downloading another version of CS2, I am finding that I am unable to layer 2 JPG images using the Move tool. Similarly, from Bridge, neither the Photomerge or Merge for HDR seem to be working. All of this worked on the old system, albeit at a rate best measured...

I've always been a Metz fan and used a hammerhead for years until I thought it would be too risky to use with a digital camera and I bought a 50AF1. It is fine with my D90 although it can underexpose, as can the Nissin according to some reviewers. However, I find the menu system on the Metz...

Had dealings with them once for an old manual Tokina lens which came apart in my hands so to speak. Despite the fact that it was well nigh obsolete, they repaired, tested and fitted new rubber grips for a modest sum which included return carriage. I would contact them with a preliminary enquiry...

Ross, Just to say thanks again for your help and information shared here. The new computer has been installed and I've got PS2 up and running with the minimum of hastle. Clearly it is backwards compatible although no longer supported, so has also saved some cash as well. As well as that, I...

Again, thanks, Ross; these hints and tips make for a much more stress-free life and I appreciate your help. Ernie

Many thanks for the very full response, Ross; I'm just about to order the computer now so will have a go once I've got my head round W8! Thanks, Ernie

Thanks for that, Ross; not sure that I understand it, though. (my fault, not yours!!) Do you have both XP and W8 installed on your machine? I'm looking to replace my PC with one that comes with W8 pre-installed so don't know yet whether the new machine will run XP. Any further help would be much...

Thanks for that confirmation. Could I ask, please what was your solution to the problem? Ernieh
