No, it tends to hang while comment on your photos (which is a bit hard on my virtual 'ears'). :)) ;)

I'm so jealous on those full colors P-3's , Slijffie ,......way before my time.

And the quality of those scans is great.

Thanks!
The quality of some slides is deteriorating - they are getting ugly. I wonder which film brand they are, but I will not open the mounts and look. Kodachrome is okay, but I used cheap film in those earlier years. I know I have a few Agfa-slides that have lost most of their colours in 25 years. Taking photos in bad weather doesn't help either of course..
