Hi, 'cut and sleeved' is the phrase I use when I send in the Kodachrome, and that's how it comes back, sleeved in 6-frame strips. Kodachrome mounts are now plastic, and you can break them, but then they're broken... So you have to remount the slide.
In my experience of Kodak Photo CD, unmounted slides produce a far better scanned image than mounted slides. Another benefit of the slides/digital printing workflow is that you don't have to do proof scans and prints to see what you've got, and you have a (more or less) absolute reference point for any finished prints you make. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, January 17, 2002, 5:02:28 PM, you wrote: > On Thursday, January 17, 2002, at 11:21 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> How does one scan Kodachrome?
