Photo online course

It is a great course you have about how to store the old pictures, but like me, there are probably many people who has thousands of picture negatives and would love to sort and store them.
It is impossible to see on a negative if you like to have the picture stored or printed and over the years, the film material get's brittle and looses the color too.
Also, nobody want to make hundreds of new prints from old negatives just to sort out the pictures he want.
I remember that there was years ago a scanner for positive film (slides) where you could scan the film and make prints of it. I have not found the scanner anymore on the market.
Something like this would be really helpfull and since a few graphic programs have also a negative change, it might be possible to check the old film material and pick the pictures you want.
Please have a look into the possibility of doing this.
Thanks

Take your pick...

Years ago few scanners could handle such, but today the vast majority support the scanning of 35mm film and slides, either natively or with an attachment. Personally, I prefer Epson scanners, and as you'll see here even the $99 ($59 after rebate) model can do as you request. If you have a lot of photos you may want to consider one with an auto feeder, but either way there's plenty to choose form.

Hope this helps,
