a couple of photos

I got a great new scanner this week, a Canon 8400F with a built in light in the lid that does slides and negatives really well.

    I had wanted one to do the many unseen or remembered negatives I have dating way back. I bought it at Best Buy. It cost well over $200 and finally gave up on it never used. It is still here. They claimed that if this didn’t do it. . . . . nothing would. . . .

    It is a Epsom Perfection 3590 PHOTO.

    Thanks… yet again for posting the family pics! Between Facebook issues and my elbow in a cast (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome) not having much luck with getting pics up and loaded. I have an idea… if everyone could get all their photos of our “loved ones” and get them to John(Leslie)… maybe from there he could make and burn a “MASTER” copy!

    Cara, like you and I have talked over the years getting family photos scanned and shared would be good. Your Mom and I talked about it a lot – it’s just a big project to tackle. As I work on it I’m thinking about Aunt Jill. Once they’re digitized they can become a permanent archive and part of the shared history, something she would appreciate. The other part of the work is identifying who’s who. Not having Jill here to help with that will make it harder because she was one of the experts.

    To do it right, each photo or negative has to be scanned at a high enough resolution that a person could print a liked sized print or enlargement. Those files will take up a lot of space. A second file needs to be included at a 72 dpi res, small enough to go on a website or be emailed. Flickr does those conversations and maybe it could be part of the process.

    To do it really right where nobody would have to go back and do it again, a raw file should be saved (70 or 80 megs each), and a high res JPEG (about 1 meg) and a low res JPEG (about 100k). With those three files people with low or high computer knowledge could get what they wanted out of each photo.

    And yes, we could make a set of data DVD master copies for people in the family. Then have it online also. Maybe a password protected site with an easy to use veiwer. There’s a lot of more distant relatives and genealogy researchers who are interested – we’ve run across a whole bunch of those online over the years.
