Bog,
How about a simple primer on your restoration? Dad's slides are standing by for scanning. New post for this would be best if allowed.

2. Upgrade your computer so it has a minimum of 4GB of RAM, get a second hard drive of at least 2TB with 500GB sectored as a scratch disc for Photoshop. You'll need the space, a 35mm slide scanned at 6400 dpi runs around 140MB. 3. Get a top of the line scanner (I use an Epson Perfection V700 now, upgraded from the V500) and learn THAT software inside and out. 4. If you're archiving, scan the slides at around 6400dpi. This will make sure that the pixels are smaller than the grain, and it will also make sure you won't have to scan them again for a long time after technology improves. It takes an average of 7 minutes to scan a slide at that resolution,so be sure you have the time to spend.
