I didn't know how you did it, but man you have it dialed in! You are smart, those photos don't make money sitting in a file cabinet. I think I need to modify my approach! Thanks Gary, Ron Hi Gary,

(hanging head low, shaking side to side) I have the coolscan 5000, a great scanner, as well as the 50 slide bulk feeder. I've also got a batch action to processes the images that gets them to 90-95% of the way to the original slide. A couple other one button actions for cropping, sizing, and a bit of warming, and whamo. I figure my average time per scan spent after batch processing is approx 90 sec. / image, which includes spotting and final color corrections. Really difficult scans maybe take 3-5 minutes. That's the joy of slides, you already know what it's supposed to look like. No going all over the ballpark like when processing RAW files. I spend way more time on digital images than I do on slide scans. If you wanna hire me as a consultant.... I will accept a small percentage of any fee payable in Brew kits. :) Oh… dudes… (hanging head low, shaking side to side)
