The Epson Perfection V550 photo scanner does a great high resolution job with 35 mm slides (as well as documents) and can be imported through Photoshop, etc. I assume your lantern slide is smaller than 8.5" x 11"?

Thanks guys, the entire slide is 3 x 4 and the image 2 x 2.75. The problem with the scanner is I will need to find one that has the attachment for transparencies which should cure my issue.

If anyone has an early color photographic slide, rather than hand colored, please email me photos of it illuminated and "dark" for comparison purposes.

Unbelievable. I had to really give this a long and hard look before I was convinced that it was hand tinted and not an actual color slide. All of the nuance of color in the Sphinx is just sooooooo top notch. And I love seeing all of the different colors the artist used for the local people, in addition to the ballplayers.

Just absolutely amazing. I'd certainly love to paint it someday.
