If you Google "Ion 35mm Slide Scanner Manual" you should find a PDF version.

Mine came with an instruction CD. . .I don't remember about the software as I didn't use it. But, I have a vague recollection that the software can be downloaded.

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

I also found the SilverFast software to be horrible. I HIGHLY recommend VueScan by Hamrick Software (http://www.hamrick.com). It can utilize ALL the features of the OpticFilm 82001 (including infrared) and is much more intuitive. Available for Macintosh, Windows and Linux computer at a very reasonable cost (you can either by the current edition with free upgrades for a year for $30 or the Professional version with free lifetime upgrades for $80). They have been around for a very long time and it is constantly upgraded. It supports just about every scanner imaginable!

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.

There was a software CD bundled with mine. I found the disc unnecessary as the device worked "plug & play" for me.

Linda...according to the pictures, the software is good for PC and Mac and the unit is easy to use. We copied over 100 slides to my computer and the quality was amazing for as old as they were.

The issue is not the vintage of the slide but the slide's condition & format - I've scanned numerous older slides. The machine scans 35 mm (i.e. 24 X 36 mm) slides or negative strips. To save a lot of Photoshop or equivalent app time, should make sure that the slides are as clean as possible before the scan (i.e., compressed air can or squeeze-type air brush). Good luck!

I had to use an SD card. I didn't find that to be an issue. The scanner worked great, and I did several thousand slides!

There is no software. The scans save to an SDCard. The scanner comes with a USB stick that you can plug the SDCard into and then insert into your computer.

I assume u want a way to use the scanner, not buy another like others have suggested. I'm not sure what you meant by "remove the slide". Is your mounted slide somehow stuck in the scanner and you want to pull it out? Or asking how to unmount the film from the slide frame? If the latter, cut the cardboard and get the film out, then scan. If you want to remount it (but why, since you have scanned it in), there are plastic slide frames you can buy that snap around the slide film.

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

I would have the CD handy. I found that I had to use the CD for the software install. Thanks.

I think the scanner does a great job with 35 mm slides or negatives. It has a slide holder for 4 slides at a time.
