1/30 We have a lot of photos (4x6 and 5x7) that we'd like to scan and
turn them into jpeg files. We have misplaced the negatives for most
of them. What's the fastest way of doing this other than scanning
with a flat bed scanner one photo at a time? Are there scanners
that you can feed a stack of 4x6s or 5x7s and it'll scan them
automatically? Thanks.
\_ there are lots of good scanner/feeder systems out there, and
the good ones are over $500. If you want to scan negatives,
1200x1200 is barely sufficient, 2400x2400 is decent, but
4000x4000 is much better. Check out the Nikon feeder systems,
that's what professionals use. If $800 is too much for you
despite the fact that you already have a milk-cow job and a
moonlight real-estate job, you can always pay someone else
to do it for a nominal fee.
\_ Quit being a cheap chink and pay someone to do it.
\_ Yes, there are feeder systems, but they tend to be a bit pricey.
When I had a bunch to do, I just sort of set up a production line
and put 4 on the bed at a time, then cut them up later.
\_ My old flatbed scanner had a feeder on it. It wasn't
particularly expensive, but I guess expense is relative. |
