Scanning old photos

[314joey]

Terri found this old picture of me, it's the first picture she took of me after we met, yes, it's yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago of me (25+lbs lighter) a lot younger standing next to my new Z28 back in the late 80s, I'm styling ain't I. :action-smiley-035:

I women loved that car.

Speaking of scanning pics 😜, I got about 1000 old pics I need to scan. Any recommendations on a decent photo scanner?

Subscribed, I do too.
I think the PIA is editing them. Might be money better spent paying a service to handle it.

Actually the scaner on an HP inkjet printer works pretty good....you just need to make sure you do them at the maximum resolution available 600 or 1200 DPI :thumb:

Si senior ^^^ what he said, they aren't GREAT but the results are OK...

My son scans negatives on a super doooper flat bed scanner at his college and each scan takes over one hour on max resolution I believe he told me... The end results are better than any prints / jpegs that the typical low resolution digital cameras take...

I think you have to first decide how much time you have on your hands and do the math...


1000 prints x 5 minutes each = 83.333 hours :wink2:

I typically end up getting roped into doing a bunch of scans when we have weddings or funerals or parties for slide shows...

The up side is that I have great digital pics of my late brother and other family that are more precious than gold to me that my family and I can open and look at regularly...


Try your home flat bed set on the highest resolution first like Paul said and I think you will be pleased...

I would add to what Paul said, spend 60-100 bucks on a good western digital 1/2 TB passport external hard drive OR two and start making folders/directories for the pics. Name the directories so that you can quickly/easily find-update-amend-back up... ON second thought, get TWO 1/2 TB (or bigger) WD passport external HDs and mirror them manually... I keep three and my son has at least three of his own, mark / identify one as your master and start organizing your cell pics/prized digital family/friend JPEGs now before it is too late...

Handle the passport with care and keep it in the SHOCK proof case and it will last a long time. DON'T let it sit inside the protective case and run for hours because it can get hot...

Cool pic Joey, here is one of Linda and I around early 80's, typical high resolution scan from our HP scanner... :)

No ponytail, but I had curls, so it was the "party in the back and business in the front" haircut.

We met on July 19th 1989, it's been a while and she was a child when I met her, she's a few years younger than me, that's the way all second wives are.....................lmao.

That's what we use too, it a combo unit, scans, faxes, prints, copies, HP has some cool unit on the market now.

Just find a good man, time will tell if he's the real one, I wish the best for you.

Terri looks amazing! I thought she was in her mid-late 30's. I know happiness keeps you young.

Age is just a number. I'm rather patient in the "love" department, what's meant to be is meant to be, right?

Agreed! Age is def just a number! Kim and I are a perfect example of that.

I bought a Canoscan about 5 years ago. It scans prints, negatives or slides. I would guess I've put about 200,000 miles on it since purchasing and it's still working fine. It's way better than your typical $80 HP desk top scanner.

My wife is 14 years younger than me. This pic is a year before we got married in 2002.

This model lets you know if there is electricity present too. You know, so you're not wasting time on low voltage. 😉

You're using the stud finder the wrong way....the heat is generated later on with his tool, not your tool. ;):)

I have a ton of slides to do as well. I had a nice HP photo scanner I bought about 13 or 14 years ago, and it worked ok, but finally gave up.

This looks like a nice unit (the scanner😊). As long as it will do slides, as well as pictures, it would work. Thanks.
