I’m 18 but I found a shoebox filled with really old photo’s of my grandpa. I never met him, but I’ll surely scan the photo’s.
Help! Aunt Laura is stuck in the scanner again! Lol!!!!!!!
I want to know is there a app that can scan old locations by using photos and the satellite can find that place that seem familiar like google map since it take the picture of the whole world since it’s in space it can find many areas that give you hints on where that place might be and I hope people can make an app that can do that.
nothing beats the price of free.
How to scan a carbord photo on my ff640
Maybe some shots don’t need to live on forever? Well that last picture I am sure Grandma would want you to have it scanned and saved!!!!
You can change date on the google photos website
OR…..you can do like I did by purchasing a $25 Canon printer/scanner from Walmart and two $50 terabyte external hard drives from Micro Center and then scan 15k+ pictures to one hard drive and copy everything to the second hard drive as my backup. It took me some time to do this but I completed it on my own time at my own pace and I even have a backup copy of everything that I keep at another location should one copy get damaged for any reason.
Use a flatbed scanner with a photo scanning software for best image quality. http://autosplitter.com/
