How to scan the old family photos

"Parents' pictures are done!"


How I did it: I bought a sheet-fed scanner, which was much faster than the flat bed I already had. Then I hired an unemployed friend to do the work for me. I still have to put some of the pictures back, the ones that were in the albums with the sticky pages and now need to be mounted with corner mounts onto scrapbook paper. The scanning itself, however, is done! Until my sisters dig up their pictures...


Lessons & tips: Do your research on scanning resolution and format, etc, particularly if you are researching before purchasing the scanner.


It took me 1 year.


It made me Happy
