Can I take a photo slide and make it a regular photo? If so how?

You could take it to a specialty film developing place for a conversion.

You could do it yourself if you have a slide attachment on your scanner. Just put in the slide, and the scanner will scan the image onto your computer. With that you can print it or take it to a photo developing place that can read memory cards or CDs.

Actually, the majority of photos that you see in magazines are taken as slides. Slides are really easy to scan in and save as digital images -- then you can print whatever you want.

Sam's clubs photo or Wal-Mart photo centers do this. I should know, I ran one. Good Luck, make sure you tell them you want color correction or they won't do it.

I suggest Sam's by the way, if you have a membership that is. They seem to do a better job.

You can either have a negative made and then a print made from the negative. Or, you can have it printed directly from the film. No offense, but I wouldn't bother with Sam's club or consumer studios but would go to a professional.
