Finally have my house in order and need to get all my photos online for my friends, co-workers and relatives to see. Most are travel shots from my exotic vacations. I have over 5000+ 4×6 prints from my film days that I want scanned so that I can post them online (as well as archive them digitally). I have a Epson 1650 Perfection flatbed scanner, but in no way am I going to undertake this task with that scanner.
Just for clarification I want to get these photos up on the web for public viewing…to chronicle my travels and photography for all of my friends, relatives, contacts and coworkers. I do NOT intend to sell or make prints of off these digital scans.Many of the people viewing these photos will be using uncalibrated monitors looking at files that may be compressed or further post processed (i.e. sharpening) by whatever web storage company software I use (i.e. flickr, pBase, smugmug or zenfolio)
Scanning the negs may give the best quality but that may be overkill for my purposes….however scanning 5000 negs maybe easier than 5000 prints (or 1000 if I edit further)
Anyone know of (AND use) a scanner that can be loaded to automatically scan a stack of 4×6 prints?No idea for 5000 of 4×6″ prints. I would use a film scanner like the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 and scan the negs.
Best regards,
Kaij
