I would love to get hold of a USB 35mm slide viewer. (combination of a
slide viewer and a webcam?) Does anyone know if these exist? I am
looking to view on screen and take a quick low res snap of 4,500
slides so that I can decide which to feed through my slide scanner.

Any info gratefully received

Most people who have slides have projectors (or access to same).

If they're aready saved in carousel's then project them. As you
hit the ones that are worth scanning, take them out and put in a
"to scan" box.

As David says, a light box is great for 'down selecting' too, and
faster than a projector if the slides are not already loaded in a
carousel.

In any case I always use a lightbox as I scan, and that is where
the best are seperated for scanning.


Cheers,
Alan.
