[Tangata]

I need to scan some slides. I have an old scanner a Mustek Bearpaw 1200TA which has this ability, but I have lost the installation disc. I have downloaded the operating program and drivers and the scanner is working in normal flat bed mode. However to scan slides I need Twain and I cannot find a compatible program.

I downloaded a trial version of Vue Scan. The Quick Setting guide says:

Color slide
1. Choose File | Default options from the File menu to reset VueScan
2. Select Input tab on the Options panel
3. Set Input | Source to your scanner
4. Set Input | Mode to "Transparency"
5. Set Input | Quality to "Print"
6. Set Input | Media to "Image"

Step 1 is OK. Steps 2 and 3 are also OK (I have a newer second scanner attached)

However in Step 4 I do not have “Transparency” showing as a source nor do I have an Input Media button (Step 6).

Is this because I only have the trial version, or am I missing something?

I recall some time ago a thread dealing with photographing slides, but I can’t locate it. Does anyone recall it?

Thanks!
