What I really want is a sheet feeding photo scanner that scans the front and back and won't destroy old photos, or even better, a company that will rent me one for a few months. Then I can scan the 1000s of photos my parents have, and send it back.
- tempestn 10y agoThat would be handy. You would think such a thing must exist. There are certainly companies that will digitize all your photos for you, including some cleanup in editing software, but I believe they charge ~ $0.75/photo. Anyway, they must have some decent hardware. I just finished scanning a batch of my old high school photos, but I didn't take a lot, so it was only a few hundred. Managed to fit three at a time on the bed of my all-in-one printer/scanner, but it was tricky because there was a dead zone along the edges, so they had to be in the middle, but spaced out enough that the software could auto-crop them. Still not TOO bad, but I wouldn't really relish doing it for thousands.
- lfowles 10y agoDoesn't seem like an insurmountable task for a week of netflix and a ScanSnap scanner[0]. Personally, I have the s1300i and scanned thousands of pages of notes.

- mavhc 10y agoI looked at the ix500, but couldn't find much in the way of people using it with photos, a) quality, and b) how well it handles photos rather than paper
