    A joy to watch. Im really happy that you covered prints because I'm trying to digitize and reprint old family photos for a Christmas gift. This will be a great help. Thank you.

    Thank you very much for your informative video! I am researching how to digitize old films and prints and needed to see an actual demonstration on how to do it.

    Good idea for batches of old negs, slides and prints. I have 4 x mono A3 prints on matt paper but no negs. I'm copying them onto my Sony A7iii with a 50mm or 85mm lens. I use the self-timer to avoid any camera shake. I taped them to a wall with masking tape, wall not facing any windows and resized them in Photoshop as layers on same doc. Then saving each layer as a jpeg to email to client so he can get them printed as a set. Photoshop can bring up the shadow detail a bit and I'll spot out any dirt on prints. It works far better than a flatbed scanner which gives you an auto exposure.

    constant lights are great for focus. but how about speedlights?

  • @DrBrianOCallaghan · 1 year ago

    This is really helpful.  I wonder if it might be helpful to use an enlarger easel to hold prints in place?  This might eliminate some issues of curling prints.

    Hi Nigel,<br>Have you tried medium format?<br>Does this system hold up well and flat for neg/slide 6x7?<br>Thanks.

    Using my digital camera and tripod, what would be the best camera settings. I have tried using the camera in auto mode but just not all that clear in my opinion

    Is there better way to handle those wobbly pictures? I was thinking of using sheet of glass over the photo - so it&apos;s flattened against the base - but would that make any sense?

  • @AM-tz9qc · 1 year ago

    Wouldn&apos;t using a camera be as time consuming as using a scanner if you have hundreds of photos? &nbsp;Is it worth buying a second hand Epson Fast Foto? &nbsp;I&apos;m guessing once people have scanned all of their old photos they wouldn&apos;t have as much use for it? &nbsp;Many thanks
