There are those who prefer cameras to scanning and that is just fine and no problem. This is for those wanting to scan and a method.
I have for a couple of weeks, off and on, been scanning old negatives and photos from the early 1900's of when my family lived in Mexico.
I like to add a space below the photo to put information including names, places and dates. Some have more info that can reach a short paragraph.
I do this because I then post these in a family group Facebook page and as the family, including distant members and at times decedents of non-family have a photo with the information easily understood. No encryption in a photo or only in a file requiring effort to access by others. These can be shared easily to any one. This is like the original photos as the information is written on the back and never lost. You can immediately see who, what where and when. If there is a mistake or more information the person lets me know in FB group and I can easily make the change and repost
Negatives luckily there are enough photos around to put them together with names on the new photos.
Speed is of NO consequence. I place several photos or negatives and scan them together. As each one is completed I open it in PSE make a few adjustments if needed and then add the description. By then the next is ready or 2 or more. In other words the scanner scans far faster than I can make adjustments so no sitting around.
Scanner is Epson V750 (I believe the V850 has replaced it now).
This work flow for me makes it all move along as fast as I can handle each photo with no waiting.
Just thought I would share my madness method in case someone might find it of value.
Hope it helps.
PS, Someone here colorized a previous photo and thank you. If you want practice here is my favorite one of the hundreds I have scanned.
