Scan Those Slides!
Tuesday November 3, 2009
If you're like many of us, you (or your parents or grandparents) probably have stacks of old slide carousels loaded up with family memories. Unfortunately, the precious images on those slides are deteriorating with each passing day. Here are several options for converting those pictures to digital format.
Once you've scanned your old family photos or slides into digital format, try these tips for digitally cleaning up those tears, stains, creases and faded images.
As a bonus for your hard work, the digital pictures you've created from those old family slides can now be used in all sorts of creative ways to make great holiday gifts for your family members -- from ornaments to calendars!
Thanks for the pointers! My dad was a professional photographer for years. We always enjoyed looking at his slides. I know there are so many packed away and I just put off going through them. You have inspired me!
Hey, I also wanted to let you know that Tim Sullivan of Ancestry.com rang the opening ceremony bell at the NASDAQ on Nov. 5. The company has launched public offerings!
Mr. Sullivan will be the keynote speaker at the 2nd Annual Mesa, Arizona Family History Expo on Jan. 22-23, 2010. To learn more about the Arizona Expo visit http://www.fhexpos.com.
