Tip of the Day: Scanning Old Film

Are you jumping on the digital band wagon, and getting ready to digitze your film? If so, you have two options. One, you do it yourself, and two, you have someone else do it. If you have several hundred frames, which you want scanned, let someone else do it. It is worth shopping around, because many digital minilabs scan film, and put images on CDs or DVDs for you. Because of this competition prices are fairly low, and many places offer discounts on bulk orders. Unless you already have a good batch scanner, save your money, and let the lab do it. Sort your film ahead of time, this will make it easier for you later, since the film will be scanned in the order in which you submit it.
