Actually, I did that a couple days ago. I took one of my anti-Newton glass mounts, and yanked out the glass on the emulsion side. It worked fairly well, although I have some slides that, as a result of a fire, have such horrible ripples in them that they won't even lie flat when sandwiched between two pieces of glass. Besides, it's such a pain to do that, that I'd gladly buy a different scanner if it would solve the problem. Anyway, thanks for the input. -- Ciao, Paul D.
