I have a Canon flatbed scanner, can someone tell me if it is possible to scan colour slides to print/save?

    If your scanner was able to do it there would normally be an adapter supplied which clips onto the underside of the lid, if not then i dont know if there is a way. Epsom all in ones and scanners normally have this feature on the more expensive models (+£100).

    Sorry not a great help but hope it points you in the right direction!

    It would have a light box to illuminate the slide/negative, and a per previous poster, an adaptor to hold the slide.
    Why don't you google the model number to find out its capabilities?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Alternatively get hold of a slide projector and take a digital photo of the image

    A slide scanner will produce better results, they are about £50 upwards from Jessops/Jacobs etc..
