Really helpful
My great grandmother died after my great grandfather in 2 years
And they had lots and lots of old photos of their weddings their honeymoon and my grandfather and his siblings so this helped a lot
This was great! Haha “it doesn’t have an anti-awkward correction.” Your video gave great options for tackling the mountains of memories. Thanks for posting!
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.
what if your backups get corrupted...what ya do?
Restore using the original lol Cloud is the way to go for something like that.
No much work
Or do it free?
Could you please tell us the exact model? I couldn't find any at my Walmart or online
Great video, thorough, funny and giving the right guidance. Just bought it and got it in 2 days. Took no time to set up. The peace of mind you get It is worth the investment for sure. Thanks again for the digest.
scanners are far superior than anything else right now. My old Epson scanner from 2009 still does an amazing job.
nothing beats the price of free.
I used a photo scanning service and would never use them again. The digital copies were dark and fuzzy. It also took over a month to get them back.
Well I'm 14 but I still have Photos from people or animals that I love so this is very helpful
Thank you
Another option with better color fidelity but no anti glare is setting up a controlled space with a DSLR or Mirrorless camera on a tripod. White balance your camera with a WhiBal, place every picture in the exact same spot, and then snap a photo one by one.
This was the exact idea I had. Perhaps even add an off-cam speed-light to bounce off the ceiling.
@@K3zz21 word of warning from having done it is place your lighting perpendicular to your camera and put on a polarizing filter to prevent glare on glossy images or on the glass pane you'll place over them to hold them down flat. Don't worry about zooming your camera in to precisely line up the edges of your field of view with the edges of the picture because it's faster and easier to just rotate and crop the picture on the computer.
good luck with that idea. we now live in the era where inserting a disc into your CD or DVD player is consider a chore, even with the better quality. people now only care about lazy, convenient, low effort and quality wayside. welcome to digital.
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.
Therockbrothersmc 🌹😘♥️
He's your family and your lineage. He's your family tree. You should.
I'm 12 and found old photos back when I was just a little toddler and I want to save them to my computer
🌈🦋 Thank you for the new technology of this app, I have a new appreciation of my good old days.🙃 sweet !🙂🐾
I just bought a wand scanner. I am going to scan everything that is a good shot. I am not going to keep duplicates and blurry shots, or people whom we cannot identify. Then I will put them in files on my computer, and save them on an SD card for backup, and an external hard drive. Newer photos will be uploaded right to the computer and saved.
OK, but what I'm finding is that when you send friends/family these photos in like email to their cell phones.....they can't be enlarged without getting fuzzy. Yet you can send phone taken photos and enlarge them as much as you want.....is this a pixel thing??
If you choose original size when sending in email, they will. If you send via text messaging it's the worst. Messenger is a tad better. Email is the way to go - you are attaching the ORIGINAL file, so whatever resolution you SAVED the digital photo in is what is capability is for enlargement. :) hth
Thanks!
Thanks a lot.very useful app
Nice, and beautiful pictures.
Well photos on paper best, in an album last for ever and ever digital 🥺lost all my videos and photos on a big crash ..
This video came out when I was 19, I grew up with flim pics
Thank you
Joanna is the only bright star there
using a phone camera to scan images is a horrible idea. phone camera lenses are wide angle and have a lot of distortion.
I use mine often, but it's not ideal... Lots of glare issues, graininess, color distortion. You almost need a consistent lab environment to properly use this as an option. That said, I highly recommend doing it. Because the grainy picture with a little bit of glare or maybe bent the wrong direction is better than no picture at all! I've also been able to share a lot of photos with family members that they might not otherwise get to see. They may not be perfect but they are better than nothing. They're also a nice hedge against losing all of your precious photos in a disaster. Then you'd be happy to have that imperfect photo!
I print all my digital photos and keep them safe in a photo album.. Although I do have them on my computer and a CD, in my opinion that method is not really reliable. Computers may crash and Microsoft are upgrading programs all the time so you can loose all your precocious memories. The storage units for computers is always changing. There was a time when floppy disks was the big thing and I lost quite a bit of information when computer programs were upgraded and they replaced it with a CD player. Now computers are getting away from putting CD player on their computer and there will probably come the day when computer companies will replace flash drives also.
If youndigitize them it is eaasier to share
@@paulsanfordonstage I think digital and print *both* have their place.
That Epson scanner have a dust removal feature. Any does on the image will show up.
Considering the Epson printer. We have 50 years of family photos. I think the price is worth it.
ANTI-AWKWARD CORRECTION LOL OMG SO TRUE GIRL LIVE LOVE LAUGH
Mail can be lost. Send family memories in a box my mail? No thanks.
My hesitation exactly, while my 25 year old 8mm sit in a safe slowly degrading because I'm afraid of sending them off! 😓😭
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.
Tai Hung are you stupid or something? That’s ridiculous!
This is a valid question
Maaan i know this comment is 4 years old but it’s so funny. Imagine if they made the MOST advanced AI imaginable that could not only use the unimaginable amounts of data something like google earth has fast enough for a PHOTO APP, and then could process all that data and compare with random holiday photos taken from any angle imaginable. We’re talking amounts of data a NASA supercomputer would take a while to sort through.
I don’t mean to be condescending but this is like a child asking if there is a machine that can make infinite ice cream from thin air because he doesn’t understand how matter works yet. How would you even interpolate the data unless you took those pictures from pretty much the same place and angle that google did? It’s fun to think about how any of this would be fathomably possible
Help! Aunt Laura is stuck in the scanner again! Lol!!!!!!!
🗣️ GOOD JOB 👍🥰💯💖
I used this
How to scan a carbord photo on my ff640
Cannot do. User guide & Epson rep both say even a Polaroid photo is too thick. The new FF 680 can scan thicker items
So is there anything that actually works?
Scan by hand. I've used the fujitsu scansnap ix100 as of yesterday and got through a tonne of photos. Would have been more had I scanned in 300dpi, but I went with 600dpi to be safe
Olivia Daly Thank you. I’ll have to try that.
Don't like those iphone apps. Would rather find good lighting & just use me iPhone camera. Those apps make them very grainy
What about the curvey edges around photos you take photos of? Is there any way to take the picture so that the edges don't look curved?
you could put then on a metal table and pin them with magnets.
All my important memories are stored on my old computer
😓 Take it to any computer shop and they can get them on a drive for you!
Those paper photos last longer than digital ones. No risk of hard drive failures.
There is a small risk of losing pictures digitally but physical pictures will fade and can easily get lost/damaged/destroyed. Digitally scanning and uploading the pictures to a cloud is safer imo.
Colour-shifting, easily damaged due to fragility and people keeping them in sticky back albums in which the sticky stuff is dissolving them... also natural disasters. Scan them to a hard drive computer and cloud. 3 backups. Problem solved. And you can use lightroom to edit the scanned pics to save them from overexposure, red eye, scratches, physical damage etc etc
OUI c'est vrai..Berk,
mais j'ai des photos noir/blanc, de mes gds parents, que je veux envoyer a mes petits enfants..
comment je fais?'PS je suis meilleure, pour ecrire en francais, ma langue maternelle qu'en anglais, ma langue d'adoption..lol lol
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!!!!
HA HA HA SO TRUE GIRL LIVE LOVE LAUGH
Google scan puts a border around the image. Very annoying! Not really what people want.
Only if you use the integrated sharing function. If you just save them they appear in your camera roll without a border!
@@Halbmond but then they're not archival quality. For archival quality, use a scanner. Or even a printer which has a scanning bed for photocopying
Olivia Daly the image quality doesn’t change whether you use the app’s sharing or saving function. And it has been my experience that taking a photo of a paper photo tends to result in a better image quality than scanning using a low- or mid-range printer. A really good scanner might be better, though, sure. Then there’s also the issue with glare - at least my scanner-printer doesn’t create usable results with very glossy photos.
Pretty sure there's more options than your 1, 2 and 3.
Suggestions? I don't know of any other options.. there are different options on purchasing a scanner and what phone app to use, and even what service to use if you're shipping them off, but there's really no other option to get your photos digitized. If you have one it seems like you might have suggested it first rather than saying there were more than three. Followed by a period.
For options 2 and 3 you still don’t have an actual photograph of the restored picture, only a digital copy, unless you take further action and expense. To me I want to hold that clear picture in my hand.
Ummm, I thought the object here was you HAVE the photo already in your hand and you want to digitize it to preserve it...?
This app no longer exists
Hey I’m 21
Too much money I'd rather do one at a Time!
My photo
So does google use my photos ?
So....the best option costs about 5x the other options and the photos get stuck. Okay.
Don’t take pictures of pictures. The quality of the image will be degraded. Use a scanner.
What about Polaroid lol
Extreme vocal fry warning
Or.. call me crazy but as far as I can tell you could just take a picture of it with your iphone and save your self a step to get the same quality
i do that all the time
*_"The Best Ways to Scan Old Photos"_*
ABSOLUTELY not bunch of liars when people care about quality!
Ahahahaha i hd just turned 20 watching this
Jesus loves you
The jaunty humour is a little grating.
talk too much , can you just straight to the point
Help! Aunt Laura is stuck in the scanner again! Lol!!!!!!!
