Anyone used a photo scanning service?

I'm clearing through photos & want them scanning.

Probably will have a few hundred to scan so will send them off to a company.

There's loads to choose from, any recommendations?

I have used this:

Obviously not professional but the quality was quite adequate (as well as being fast and cheap - bought mine for £25 at the time-) for me.

You could ask for quotes from your local photographer. I have done that for some childhood photos that we wanted copied quickly as we have to give them back. They got 'cleaned up' but not too much or they'd look wrong. I'm very pleased. It was pricey (£2 a photo) but worth it for these and because they were local any queries/quibbles were sorted quickly.

Part way through sorting & have about 700 already so won't be doing it myself!

Will definitely send them off to a company.

Haven't used them personally but these people advertise on Ebay and do discounts for over 100 pics

If you have the negatives and your Asda has a photo processing section, they will transfer onto CD very cheaply. I can't rmember how much but it was like £1 or £1.99 per roll of film.

spamvertiser up above - or PITA for short(!)

You would rather hope the OP had managed to solve the problem in the 10 months or so since posting it, eh?

Bu**er. This is the 2nd time I've done this recently.
