Hi guys,

I have about 200-300 pictures that I would like to scan, is there any quick way to do it? I have a scanner that can do it one-by-one, but was wondering I could do it quicker

Does where you work have one of those nice colour copier/scanner/printer machines ?  We have a Xerox here and it can take a stack of paper work in the top loader and feeds them through one by one, the scans are then e-mailed or saved to a network share of your choosing.

Failing that you could go to a photolab that offers a conversion service ... they'll even take the negatives and digitalizify them :-)

Or ... instead of one by one .. arrange many photos on the your scanner at home, scan a bunch in at once and then use software to crop them out into individual files.  I know my scanner software allows you to choose multiple areas to scan and each area gets saved seperately.

Regards

Mark
