is it possible to refocus the slide during the transfer to improve clarity?

No. It is just a viewing-transfer machine. Any correction MAY be done with a computer program. This is a bare bones machine.

As far as I know, the machine itself refocuses for you. If you're working with a blurry slide, then nothing can be done to improve it.

Unfortunately not. This is not a limitation in the device. It is that the best possible scan should equal the original . After scan touch up is possible with software like Photoshop but I don't think it will improve focus much

Would probably help yet SW will transfer through walls regardless. For the price, it would be worth trying.

Yes, you can do that, but the picture is still terrible. The quality of this product is below bad, it is nearly impossible to use.

I think it may depend on the source material. I have only used it for slides that were 40 years old. Predictably those slides that were sharp (in focus) prodused the best results and if a slide was over or underexposed you can try to adjust the exposure. A lot of my slides were starting to fade and they were the ones with with the lowest quality.

Yes. Suggest you visit the maker's website for detail: http://opteka.com/slidecopier.aspx

Yes, you are able to see what is on the slide easier than by holding it up to a light & looking at it. I also bought a Cano Scan slide scanner, scanned the slides onto my computer then put them on DVDs for family or had photos printed of them at a local print shop.

Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.

Hello James. I have just finished transferring 400 plus slides and didn't have any issues. The machine was very consistent . I did use the higher resolution and did clean the optic screen frequently.

I returned this because the poor quality of transfers from slides and prints. You can do better with a scanner, but it takes longer. For photos, I got better results by taking a picture with my camera. To get a great converter you'll have to spend $600.

Yes choose dark setting also make sure your drawing is dark the darker the image the more carbon will transfer

Yes, there is an exposure setting that will brighten or darken the slide in many cases.

With the dark transfers you don't have to reverse. I would never use the light fabric transfers because you do have to reverse the image.

I went to the Intex website, they say that this slide has been upgraded to 20 guage.. Hope this helps

It's recommended to transfer to a drive equal in size or larger. I don't think it will work out well going from more to less.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. I have a few slides but I haven't gotten around to them. I'm working on family photos - am very pleased with what it does with photos.

99% of my slides were from a half frame 35mm canon demi, taken 30+ years ago. Some were taken vertical but the "ION" just flipped them as needed. A very good investment indeed, my brother has many thousands of "full" frame mounts to transfer. The holder will take 25 cardboard mounts or 20 plastic ones, all take 2 seconds each to copy,-----You can then "doctor" as needed before final storage with PC etc;

It cannot be adjusted but you can cut paper to fit the slides and that will tone it down. The light is too bright. I got rid of it and bought a Wolverine for less money and it has all of adjustment abilities you could want.
