slide copying

When I used to take colour slides many years ago I always regretted not having an easy way of improving the 'as taken' image. I was thinking the other day that if improvements could be made to the images using Gimp it could be a very interesting exercise. Dedicated slide copiers seem to be quite expensive and I wondered if anyone knew of any device which would enable me to use my camera to make copies? I realise this is not exactly about using Gimp but I cannot think of any better place to ask the question.

slide copying

Years ago (decades really) Nikon used to sell a slide copying gadget that you mount in front of the lens, perhaps a couple hundred dollars. It was useful, but limiting.

Last summer I bought a refurbished Epson 4490 scanner from the Epson clearance store. It came with attachments and software for copying 35 mm thru 6x7 cm transparencies (and negatives). It works wonderfully - might have cost a tad over $100 US.

I made a custom template out of cardboard so that I could copy my 4"x5" large format transparencies and negatives as well. This was time-consuming but worked.
