I have Elements 13 - I am currently digitizing old 35mm slides, however, this still results in a digitized copy of the slide - can Elements 13 convert these digitized versions into picture images and, if so, how?

Why not call and/or e-mail ion for help with the unit.

Another option - there are several vendors who will do this for you. Depending on the number of slides to be converted, it may be cost effective.

OH DEAR - A VERY EXTREMELY SENIORE CITIZEN/MAN MOMENT!!!!!

I went back to the instructions and found I had to press another button or two and, GUESS WHAT? IT WORKS!!!!!

Many, Many Apologies for taxing your (and my) brain - in the words of the Immortal Simpson "DOHHHHH!"

Again many thanks and have a Great New Year.

Are you utilizing a digital converter? If not, how are you doing it?

Am using an ION PICS 2 SD Scanner so have no choice in the saved format - it just comes out as a digitised copy of the 35mm slide

OK, I place the old 35mm slides in the appropriate holder, insert the holder into the ION PICS 2 SD into which I have already loaded an SD Card. I have followed the instructions and pressed the film button and save. Then what is saved to the SD Card is a digital representation of the slide itself and not a picture of it (as one might see in an old fashioned slide projector or one of the small viewers that one can still buy). Should I have pressed the picture button, or is that just for the photos that one inserts in another holder?

Since I don't have this unit I can not experiment, but it would seem that the "picture" option may be the way to go.

Why don't you try it - nothing to lose - ??

By the way, if you open one of your scans in PSE and press CTRL+I, what happens?
