Kodachrome

Koodachrome is not very good for scanning, how about using a macro lens, placing the slide on a light box and copying that way? It will take a lot of care to get a good result, but it can work.
Best regards, John

Does anyone know of a place which will scan Kodachrome slides? (preferbly in Manchester)

I only ask as my only two rolls have come back and I am struggling to get decent digital versions from the scans I have done.
What software are you using? Vuescan has a Kodachrome mode which helps (but isn't perfect).

I had some Kodachrome slides scanned in Bolton, but would not really recommend the place, it was expensive and I was not very happy with the results. I saw some that had been done with them taped to a window and shot with a macro lens that came out better.

An interesting article in the NYT.
