you would have to somehow put them on your computer before you could download to photobucket.

you may need a slide scanner to get them to your hard drive, then to photobucket.

you could send them out to be scanned

or find a photo shop in your area that would do it

Strange board to put a question on......how about "Fly Anglers Online" board? or Sound Off.....me figures this board is for items people want to purhcase. No biggie....just sorta saying.....seems in wrong place to me. There was a period of 3-4 years where I NEVER looked at the things wanted board. You might get more help posting this elsewhere.

Apologize for sticking my nose in it. I usually get my head handed to me on a silver platter when i do this.......stick my neck out when not necessary....and C H O P C H O P!

Many Costco stores offer a slide scanning service that will scan slides and create digital jpg files burned to a CD that can be read by a computer and many DVD players. Price at my local Costco is 25cents a slide. For a one time process this is usually less expensive than buying a slide scanner and the results much better than you can get with an inexpensive consumer slide scanner. Also, as already noted there are a number of photo labs which will scan the slides and return them along with a CD with the images. If there is not a lab nearby, there are many across the country that you can send the slides too.

Thanks for all your replies. I was hoping there was a less expensive way, as I have quite a few reels. Gonna have to bite the bullet lol lol

P.S.
I apologize if I posted in wrong area, no intentions to offend anyone. Again sorry

Hi Gemrod,

Placing the photo request here is just another example of different cognitive organization and cognitive styles. We all organize stimuli differently according to our past experiences. What makes perfectly good organizational sense to one person may seem complete wrong to another. Don't worry my friend, I don't think there will be any head chopping today. 8T :)

There are "you purchase em" converters that for about 100 bucks you'll be able to copy the slide and save it to your computer, or burn it to a disk. Pretty kewl, relatively inexpensive (when you think on the individual slide cost at Cosco), and when you find more old slides, or your fishing buddies do, you'll have the converter handy!

Did a little searching on Amazon, found this one for $90 and has very good reviews to boot. Something to keep in mind: http://www.amazon.com/Epson-B11B1930...lp_edpp_ttl_in

epson has excellent scanners. i use the predecessor of the v300 photo and it does slides and negatives very easily and well.

MSD53X and 8T
Msd I didn't mean to indicate you were irritating me or others. NOT.
Just trying to help you out. I doubt I am the only one that never looked at "things wanted" for 5 -6 years. I had not enough gear to be able to help anyone out on "things wanted" so never looked at the board.

My intended point of my message was that you might get more help with this request on "Fly Anglers Online" board. I think everyone reads that board.

You have not offended me or anyone else. Just trying to help out.

nice 8t

well done

but there is always somebody.......

I have said a million times I am going to become a lurker and never ever again post my thoughts on FAOL ever again. I am about there.

Short of buying your own slide scanner, check with Wal-Mart. They have a machine that takes all kinds of smart cards and cd's to print photo's they may have one to do slides. If you have a LOT then it might be more cost effective to get your own. Lot's of good ones out there
