This item is easy to use and works well. I've used this on about 500 slides so far and its allowed me a lot of control. I've decided to provide some info on how I do it to get the quality that I get from it in the simplest form. Other slides I have had to do more work to mostly from damage.
First I snap the photo pointing the camera at my computer screen with an all white background. For this I just leave notepad open. The settings I use are mostly in auto on my Sony A200. The first photo I let it auto focus and then adjust the zoom and the angle of the frame. From there I switch it to manual focus and as long as I keep it all steady I can just pop in a slide and shoot and all come out clean and straight. I also use a remote trigger release so all I have to do once setup is pop in the slide, snap the photo, remove the slide and I'm on to the next one.
From there I use a script I created in Photoshop CS4 to auto correct levels, contrast and color. For most of the slides this does the job just fine. Others need a little more work but most of the time this works and gets great results. So I can just download the photos, load the folder and run the auto corrections and I'm done.
That's just how I have done it and have gotten great results.
