[quote=Anonymous]You can go to a place like Kinkos and do the scanning yourself. It's a lot cheaper than paying a professional photo company to do it. In fact, we paid a professional photo company to do some of our photos, and we can't tell the difference. You do have to fiddle with the scanner, though, so you get the highest resolution. Then you can bring the scanned photos into Photoshop to crop them before you print them out. You can even cover up cracks and fold marks in Photoshop.

If someone wrote "Aunt Millie, 1946" on the back, then scan the back too. You may recognize dear Aunt Millie, but your kids and their kids won't, and a big goal here is to create something for future generations.

We copied the scanned photos to CDs to everyone in the extended family for Christmas. Each family member also got about 9 prints of things like Grandma in her 1920s dress complete with ostrich feathers, the old family house, et cetera. It was cheap to do (burning extra CDs is cheap and we printed out the photos on the home printer) and everyone LOVED their presents.[/quote]
