I should point out that you can take a photograph of a photograph and as long as you can get the set up right with regards to light and positioning you can get very high quality.

Does anyone use Evernote to back up photos in conjunction with another photo app.

Does anyone use Evernote to back up photos in conjunction with another photo app I prefer to keep my digital photos scans of photos OUT of EN.

Instead, they are all on a hard drive, organized with ACDSee Photo Manager backed up to a cloud via Jungle Disk.

I have the 1300 and I have been pleased with the photos Ive used it to scan.

If quality doesnt matter then I recommend the Doxie scanner which I have.

It is one of, if not the cheapest scanners and only one sided which is obviously all you need for photos.

Plus it is a battery device and does not need to be connected to your computer to scan.

So you can be sat down watching TV and processing your photos.

The Scansnap 1300, which I also have is a superb scanner but better suited for documents that are double sided which is where its strengths lie.

However it would be good enough for photos and a good all rounder.

If quality is important as well as speed then I use and recommend the Epson V700 which allows you to scan multiple photos on the flat bed.

Best Photo Scanners 2013 Full Frame Professional

BnF, I like the sound of Jungle Disk, but I have about 110,000 photos, a lot of which are RAW files from Nikon full frame professional cameras so they take up nearly 2TB of space Regards Chris.

Its possible that your photos could become scratched as theyre dragged past the scanners glass surface.

Best Photo Scanners 2013 Mac To Backup

On a cloud storage note, I recently started using Arq on my Mac to backup photos to Amazons Glacier service.

It only costs 0.01 per GB per month to store data (retrieval costs vary.).

There are programs for Windows that are equivalent to Arq out there, but I cant vouch for them.

Also recommended by a lot of photography groups I am part of.

Im coming mostly from a box of family photos (point and shoot) spanning 4-5 decades standpoint and preserving as much as possible; Not just for online photo album sharing, but also not to a pro published photographers standards.

Im sure a select bunch of them might be printed off (or doubled in size at the most in a rare case or two), but the printing would be done on consumer grade inkjets or Walgreens at the most (of course in 10 years that might not be as bad as it sounds).

That Epson looks amazing but probably overkill for me.

I guess Ill start there and work my way down the models until something hits my priceusage ratio.

The way I saw it before, (and Im probably dead wrong on this) if the photos werent taken with all-or-nothing (top-of-the-line of the affordable consumer teir equipment), there really would be no need to scan with all-or-nothing equipment.

I assume that is most likely my ignorance talking, so Id probably have to wait and get an IPS screen while Im at it.

Do you know if the people in your groups usually use their Epson bundled software or any specific 3rd party tools I could put up with the old slow flatbed speeds if I could finally find a decent software interface.
