Digitizing Old Photos

Featured Replies

Hi,

I've got piles of old photos from my pre-digital camera days which I would like to have scanned and turned into JPEGS (or whatever) in order to avoid the inevitable damage/loss which occurs with photos.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that will do this? I have access to a scanner at work, but obviously I want the scans to be the best possible quality...

So basically; how, where, how much? :o

Thanks!

Buy your own scanner and do it at home. If you have some other people do it for you - it will probably cost as much as the scanner - considering the amount of photos you have to scan.

I'm still here in the States for a bit, but a word of caution. You need to ask specifically about the quality of the scans. Don't assume that a professional place necessarily will use the best quality scanner or pixel ratio. I assume from your post they are prints...not quite so much of a challenge. If they happen to be slides, look for someone with a dedicated slide scanner, not just a scanner with an adaptor. There is no comparison!

Hi, thanks for the replies. Yes they are prints. I never really thought about buying a scanner, could be an option I suppose....

Any firm ideas on costs/shop suggestions in BKK?
