Hello all... I have not been to the forum in a few months.
I recentely uncovered 5 photo albums containing maybe 400 pictures. They were misplaced in my move 6 years ago and I thought they got chucked out by accident. Turns out they were in a friends basement!
These photos range from the 1930s to early 2000s. I want to scan them all so I have them on my computer as a backup. You never know... they could get lost again or destroyed in a fire - hoping that never happens.
My Aunt has a scanner I can use. Not sure the model but it's maybe 3 years old. I assume it's good enough to get good quality. I don't want to have to scan these again.
Any specific settings I need to know?
DPI...? Default, 300, 600, 1000?
Should I do one photo at a time?
How should I position it on the scanner?
Should I save it as a non compressed format like PNG?
Thanks
