<< I would be very interested to hear how people are making "contact 
sheets" using film scanners. It would seem very tedious to scan a 
roll of 36 slides in a film scanner and then assemble them in one 
file for printing. Plus using a film scanner would cut out the slide 
numbers on the edge, right?

Someone suggested using a flatbed with a transparancy adapter for 
the proofs and then doing the scan of the selects with a film 
scanner.

Ideas? >>

My Epson 1680 does this very well and the bed is just the right size.  I make 
the files about 10mb each and give each a specific name.

All the best!
