Big Time Scanning

I'm finally on holidays, and I've decided to do something different with these holidays. I got my mind set on certain things that I want to get done before I get back to uni. One of them is to scan ALL of the old photos from albums into my hard drive. Simple 300dpi Tiff files, so if anything happens I've got it all on my hard drive.

So after scanning 543 photos tonight, I found time to write this post. It's been a really long day so I'll keep it short. Prize goes out to whoever can guess the relationship of the 2 people in this photo. I scanned the photo using my Pixma MP540 all in one printer, then simple editing with photoshop to balance out the colours and vignette. Great little machine by the way, easy to use and low maintenance with minilab quality.

Handy Hint: I recommend everyone with a half decent scanner do what I'm doing, photos from back then won't last forever. Let's face it, albums don't get looked through very often, but blogs and facebook get hits everyday :P
