Photo Prints to Digital

[foz]

I tried to search but couldn't find anything.

Ive got loads of family photos recently, going back 80 years or so and I want to get them converted to digital.

Doing this with a scanner on my PC would take ages so want to avoid that unless its easy.

Anyone used any of the scanning services out there and recommend any?

I'm looking for info on this too. One thing I am worried about is whoever does it losing the irreplaceable photos or them getting lost in the post

I'd happily sit there and scan them in for you - for a fee send it special then its safe

If you have a decent SLR I would use a copy stand and photograph them.

You can control the lighting, contrast, white balance etc.

If you set it up right shouldn't need much PP.

Thats not a bad idea, they would need cropping afterwards however so depending how many there are it could still be an effort, but something to consider. The biggest problem is I am between cameras at the moment
