Hi there,
I'm a photo editor employed to work on the archive of an American rock photographer from the 60s and 70s.
My first task is to deal with over 20,000 35mm negatives.
The plan is to scan them all, purely for reference purposes i.e. so we can just see them all. Thus the quality isn't important.
My inclination is just to use an iPhone film-scanning app to do this.
It seems like it'd be fast (time-efficiency is a priority) and and also very easy.
I just wanted to get a few 2nd opinions?
Have any of you used such apps before?
Would you recommend an alternative means of scanning all the negatives?
Thanks so much!
