but i think i will be able to edit in a photo editing software, Having a little trouble with the photo software that came with the scanner, but have been able to get better results with windows photo editing

Very easy to set up and use, and the results are adequate.

I ended up pointing my Nikon with a micro lens at the slides as I held them up to the window and got a great result

I have put 700 plus 35mm slides through scanner with overall good results.

The professional slide scanners may produce better scanning results but this unit is more than just a gadget.
