Electronic Photo Frame

Rosemarie44

Hi Techies

A lady I recently met on holiday was telling me about her electronic photo frame that rotates all her photos. I really like the sound of this as I have about 2,000 printed photos from years gone by but I haven't looked at for years.

I would appreciate your advice on two things (a) how can I scan a high volume of photos quickly? (b) recommend a good quality frame with a large memory e.g. 1 terabyte and where it's sold.

I have a printer/scanner but it would take forever to use that to scan thousands of photographs so was wondering if there's a much faster way for me to do it.

I have a Kodak frame which takes up to 4,000 photos, my photos are in a USB pen which I plug to the frame. High street places like Snappy Snaps I'm sure will be all to happy to turn your printed photos into digital ones.

Like TVs consider getting a bigger one than you 1st think will be suitable

If you have 2000 prints or negatives, there's no real way of speeding up the process of

Put neg/print in scanner
Press Scan on PC
Wait for Scan
Edit picture on PC

repeated 2000 times.

I think you can get professional scanners that feed negatives through the scanner automatically, but I can't imagine they're cheap....

My suggestion would be to view the photos, prioritise them and scan the highest priority ones first.

"Prints" (OP did say prints) Will go thru an ADF scanner fine

Best to minimise editing to a quick 90 deg rotate if reqd
