<P>
The problem with the &quot;triangles&quot; are these:
<BR>
<P>- Your flatbed scanner has a limited optical resolution. A slide is
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;25 mm wide; if you scan that at 600 dpi, this is equivalent of
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;scanning a full page (A4 or Letter format) at 75 dpi.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;So you will not see fine details of the slide!
<BR>
<P>- If you have framed slides, they will not be lying flat on the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;scanning glass, and hence be slightly out of focus.
<BR>
<P>- The light distribution within the &quot;triangle&quot; is not perfect.
<BR>
<P>Much depends on what you want to use the scans for: If you merely
<BR>
want to have a few gifs for your home page, the triangle is OK.
<BR>
But for quality output, for making prints, or for archiving you
<BR>
want to have at least 2400 dpi resolution.
<BR>
<P>You can purchase a film scanner (HP, Canon, Nikon) or a flatbed
<BR>
scanner with a slide tray (or at least a changeable optic system)
<BR>
(Umax?).
<BR>
<P>I tried the &quot;triangle&quot; and finally settled for the Canon film scanner.
