Jeff

What's your method of converting old pictures to digital photos?

I have tried with my camera and always had problems with lighting and color. I even have a slide and negative copying adapter and can set the camera to reverse the negatives, but the color is just awful and I can never figure out how to correct it.

Scanner or camera.  You can get slide viewers to use with scanners to scan negatives, then invert them with a good photo editing program.

Gary, if you take your time and understand your programs, you can do some pretty good restoration to old photos as well. I just spent about an hour on my Grandma Flora Brokaw's photo.  The original is badly damaged and probably will continue to get worse. I think the hour I spent on it was worth it.  Here is a side by side.

Cool restoration!

Hey, I had a wander around your original site, it's cool. I especially like the page that gives your bio. I'd like to stay 37 forever, too   :D ::) :-\ :-*

It's a fabulous story...  I want to hear more.

A newly discovered picture of my Dad. My cousin found some old negatives in a box in his mom's basement. This was among them.  :)
