Is there a way to remove photos from photo albums. The pages have sticky stuff that hold the pictures to the page. Want to scan them & then laminate them so the colors won't deteriate any more. Might have to use Elements to bring the colors back to life after I've scanned them. Tried to pull them off but stopped after a few seconds cause it looked like the picture was going to rip apart. Thanks in advance.
Pull the face of the sleeve back and lay the whole thing face down on the scanner. Unless you are using a pass through scanner, that should work. And it's "deteriorate."

I was never a good speller.

Do not worry there are many spelling police here.
Just ignore them.

Not police. I just like precision. And any good browser will catch spelling errors. Try writing a computer program with spelling errors.

Why do you have to remove them from the pages to scan them?

I would think twice about scanning them because you should get much better quality shooting them with a decent camera. At least experiment first.

OK, so this off-topic. We all like precision. But don't rely on a spell checker to provide it. By all means use one, but nothing beats re-reading your post carefully before pushing Send. It's amazing how often homophones (sound the same but spelled differently) creep in when you least expect it. Read any newspaper these days. I would have been fired from my former job as a sub-editor (I think the American term is copy editor) if I had let through some of the things you can see there every day.
Spell checkers simply can't---yet at least---work out the correct spelling from the context. If only they would throw up spelling errors the way computer program compilers do. Write even a simple program, and you soon learn that everything has to be _exactly_ right, or you get a rude message from your computer.
