I just bought this and tried using it with slides - the color is so far off that the image is barely recognizable - is there a trick to use this?

Yes this is. It will give you satisfactory results. The instructions are useless. I was so discussed I just shelved the unit for a couple months. Finally with more time and a new determination I kept working with the control buttons till I understood their logic. If the color seems completely off your may have the scanner set for working with negatives. That is the default setting. You have to use the crude menu to find the slide setting. Keep trying. you will figure it out. Good luck. PS: If you haven't returned it or thrown it away and still need help you can contact me sknaak@yahoo.com

Are there suggestions somewhere for how to take the red out of slides? Not pleased with how red the slides look.

Any good photo editing program can color correct your pictures and remove red fading. Most people use Photoshop these days but it's really expensive. I bought Corel Paints Shop Pro which is less expensive. I'm sure there are others, maybe some free open source programs.

This sounds like a pretty nifty device, but what about the picture quality? One of the responders volunteered that the pictures were "fuzzy".

It does work very well and easy to use. How I did it was to scan the slides on to an SD card then loaded on to a computer to save. The quality of the copy is the quality of the slide, there isn't an edit on it. In my case the slides that were fuzzy were that way because of fuzz on the slide or lens that just needed to be cleaned off. This did what I wanted to do, preserve the picture. It's not perfect or edited, it's what it always had been for 60-70 years, now it's in a more permanent form. It was well worth it.

Has anyone printed 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 prints of the scans made from this machine?

No, I haven't, only scanning so far. I'm old school, if I were going to enlarge it, I would use the original slide for optimum quality.
