Total time to "scan" the slides was around an hour and a half per job. I then set up an action in Photoshop to correct the levels, add sharpening, etc, and let the computer do whatever it is that they do. Checked, and had about a dozen images that I wanted to do manually, so I went back to the original files and tweaked them, then burned the whole mess to a CD. Total time for the job was less than 2 1/2 hours to scan and burn to CD about 250 slides. This is only a 2000x3000 pixel "scan", and I don't think will be quite as sharp as scanning with a dedicated slide scanner, especially as I had to use a dreaded close-up filter in the light path, but my customer was quite pleased, and the results print very nicely.
