* One addendum to my previous message. I was just looking over 
* the film specs for EKTACHROME 64T on the Kodak web site and noticed 
* this statement:
* 
* "For best color rendition, use tungsten photolamps (3200 K) at 
* their rated voltage. If voltage varies significantly, the color 
* of the lamp will change."
* 
* I had my lights rigged up to cheap hardware store dimmer 
* switches, set at about 1/2 brightness. Thinking I was clever. 
* I wonder if that was all it took to turn the slides magenta.

David,

The dimmer would lower the voltage and that would result in a warmer  color
temperature from the lights. Your best bet would seem to be the Scala or
having the files output to slides.
