 Bunch,

 Wow!  The list lives!

 Thanks to all for the advice.

 Especiallly, thanks for the reminder that IR filtering doesn't work
 for Kodachrome.

 I've got the bulk slide feeder, so the plan is to simply drop a box
 of slides in and start it up, then go away and drop another in when I
 get to it.  I figure if I do a couple of boxes an evening, it'll
 eventually get done.

 I'm going with the memory is cheap theory and will use the 4000dpi
 TIFF settings.

 Best regards,

 Carlisle



My memory seems to be that in some circumstances -- involving
generations of KC or generations of IR or a combination of the two --
allowed for some success. Sorry to be so vague but it may be worth a try
to see what happens.

The Vuescan IR is pretty good. However, I view film scanning like
playing a LP. At the very least, you need to blow off the dust.
