    E-6 Question?

    Once I get my E-6 slides back, how is the most economical way to get the pictures to my computer? Should I just get prints made and then scan them? How will I get the best quality picture to computer?

    scan the slides and you should be fine.

    Depends on what you want to do with them. When I get my slides back and find something I want to make a print of, I will take it to a lab and have a scan made. If it's something I just want for web display, I will simply take a digital photo of the slide on my light box. The lab I deal with charges for scans, and prints, so getting prints made of everything would get real expensive. I would just have the slides mounted and choose what you want to do with them from there.
