Is it possible to scan colour slides into a digital format, with a
flatbed scanner? I have a Umax Astra 4000U without a transparency
adapter. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I suppose it depends on what 'quality' you want.
I've had some success with inverting a slide view table and placing it
over the slide(s) on the scanner. This was for images that were to be
"web site material" -- i.e., not for Photo Finish Work, nor for web
Photo Gallery purpose.

For better results I've made my own slide adapter for one of my digital
cameras. But, that's wasn't what you asked about. Disirregardless,
here's the ref:
