slide photo viewer/previewr
OK all you DIYers and photographers, I need some idea to help out a friend. We need a method/device to preview and sort photo slides. Device must be:
1. Easy to use.
2. Fast to use
3. Create a large image of the slide. ( older person with weaker eyes)
4. Inexpensive. once slides are sorted, they will be burned to CD and the device will no longer be needed.
5. Preferable not require a computer or scanner.
How about laying them all out on a light-table, whilst wearing magnifying lenses?

Hence the magnifying lenses, the kind of thing watchmakers wear over their spectacles.

Tape several strips of square dowels or even folded cardboard strips to a large window to act as a "Spice rack" sorter when the slides are laid out. Use a page size magnifier like those big sheet fresnel lens to view on a bright day.
