How do I put old photos onto my computer?

I have a million old photos my parents took when I was a kid. Does anyone know of a good photo scanner I can buy. I have a normal scanner, but I need something I can easily and quickly slide photos into. I’ll take any suggestions!

just use your scanner, you can usually fit 4 or 5 images in at a time, then just use paint to crop each picture out.

Sometimes you find yourself in a situation when you have to scan paper prints, negatives or slides and store them as digital photos on your computer. Although the reason to do what they can vary, there are some common considerations to scanning paper prints. In this article we will review some of them and try to make your experience of exploration easier.

There are three types of views can be to scan:

  • Paper copies: the most common, usually in sizes like 4×6 and 5×7.
  • Negatives: also known simply as film. This is the movie usually processed 35 mm of which are paper copies.
  • Slides: very similar to negatives used for projecting your photos on the big screen.
  • Scanning paper prints photos.

    Paper copies are easy to scan photos. You can choose to explore it yourself at home (purchasing a scanner that can do the job is usually cheap and costs less than U.S. $ 100). You may also be mailed to (or hand them) to a professional scanning service that will scan for you and send you back the originals and a DVD with digital scans (These services include www.digmypics.com, www.digitalpickle.com, www.britepix.com and many more)

    There are pros and cons of both scanning in the home and the use of a professional service. If you have a small number of photos scanning at home is easier. If you have a bunch of pictures with a service could be easier, but may end up spending more money.
    By scanning at home consider the following:

  • Resolution: the resolution of a scanner is measured by the number of dots per inch that the scanner can produce. Most scanners can scan at 1200 dpi or more. Usually, the scanner can be set to scan at different resolutions. The higher the resolution the slower the scan and the larger the size photo file will be. For prints of most scan paper from 300 to 600 DPI is enough but you can experiment with higher resolution scan If you feel it provides better results.
  • Speed: If you have a small number of pictures of speed is not a problem. If you hundreds or more of photos scanning speed becomes important. For fast scans you have to scan the lowest resolution possible that results explorations pretty good – most of the copying paper from 300 to 600 DPI is enough .. Also if you're buying a scanner to check the scanning speed (usually measured in the number of scans per minute, be sure to check the speed in the Department of Public Information will be used).
  • Photo feeding: if only a small number of pictures is not a problem. If you have many photos make sure the scanner you can buy Quick and easy photo upload. Some higher end scanners can load a stack of photos and automatically feeding and exploration for you. These scanners are the right choice if you are planning on scanning hundreds or more photos.
  • Scanning negatives and slides

    Scanning negatives and slides is harder than scanning paper prints. In most cases it is easier and perhaps cheaper to use a professional scanning services (such services include www.slidescanning.com, www.myspecialphotos.com target = "_blank">, www.pixmonix.com and many more). If you want to scan in the house its standard flatbed scanner will not suffice. In most cases you will need to spend money on the purchase of a film or slide scanner. Scanners are more expensive than flat paper scanners. Negatives and slides are small high-resolution sources and thus require further analysis Department paper copies. In most cases of 2400 dpi or higher should be used.

    The considerations for scanning negatives and slides are similar to those of exploration paper copies. If you need to scan some negatives or slides speed and ease are not important, but if you're going to scan hundreds or more you should spend more money on scanners that can feed the negatives or slides automatically or can just load a roll of film and scan.
