What to Do With Old Slides
Do you have boxes or carousels of old slides around but your old slide projector gave it up some time ago? Friends have probably mentioned that they've managed to scan their slides into their computer, but maybe that seems like an impossible task. Now you can get someone else to take on this job for you at about 27 cents a slide. ScanCafe will not only transform your slides into digital images on DVDs, but will also take on negatives, photos on paper, and photo restoration. You send in your images by UPS, ScanCafe scans them, sends you a link online so you can look at them and delete the scans you don't want, and then you pay only for the ones you want. (A 50% deposit is required) Once you have them on DVD you won't need to worry about finding someone who can loan you a working slide projector. One thing - ScanCafe has proven to be such a good service that it will take some time to get your pictures back - so be sure to add that time factor in if you need the pictures back for a reunion, scrapbook project with a deadline, etc.
Would love to hear your recommendations -- some of the other services I looked at were just too expensive and didn't get such great reviews.

ScanCafe isn't the only option, there are many other companies that provide this service and don't ship your slides to India and don't take 3 months.
