...Is there anyone within the USA who has the time, skill and energy

format that perfectly replicates the slide? The latter is important
as friends have scanned slides for me in the past and the images have
been unusable, even unfixable in Photoshop.
Somewhere I've read (cue "uh-oh") that to scan slides or negatives
properly, you need special equipment, not just an attachment to a
consumer-grade flatbed scanner.
What you need is a high-quality scanner. I have an Epson Perfection 4990
PHOTO and it is designed to scan slides and negatives. It does a great
job, and does 8 slides at a time.
I would offer to do it for you, John, but I am in Canada and that might
make it awkward. Surely there is someone closer to home?
If not, let me know. When do you need these?
