scanning pictures???

Anonymous-0 · Apr 17, 2012

Hey folks....
Found a bunch of pictures today that I'd like to make into jpeg so I can post them and put them on cd's.... anyone know of a service that you can send the pics and they do it for you? My experience with a scanner was big pics (1+ mb) and poor quality..... Walmart maybe???

I use Windows live photo gallery. Works for me.

All you need is a scanner/ printer with your computer, they don't need to be expensive, this HP Photosmart was less than $100. Here's an old Poloroid picture I took 43 years ago. It's a M4 tank drivetrain carrying a drill for the cement bases under power line towers.

The adjustability and resolution is much better on scanners today, and prices are down.
Most older scanners will not work on Win7, so beware that a good buy is not a lasting one. Adjusting the scan to 300DPI, and sizing the scan by draging the preview is easy and provides good results. Save them as jpg file format, and they will be modest.
If sending them is going to happen, Put the resolution at about 100 to 150 on small photos, and 75 to 100 on larger ones. Jim
