Hi Andrea, The cheapest way to capture those images is to "color" xerox them for about $1 per page at your nearby office supply, Kinko's or UPS store -- where clean copying is part of their business. Even black & white photos come out better when copied in color. And you can gang copy a number of smaller photos on one sheet and then cut them apart later. I'm new to this listing, too, but thought I'd add my two cents here! -- Ray Reske ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Hadley" <Mystical_Lady_ofthe_Lake@msn.com> To: <MI-GENEALOGY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 2:29 PM Subject: Re: [MI-Genealogy] Old Negs - how to clean and get prints > My mom has a lot of old photos that she is going to give to the rose part of her family, I want to get a copy of them before she gives them away, any recommendations on how I can do that? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Danny Wilber<mailto:dmwilber@juno.com> > To: MI-GENEALOGY-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:MI-GENEALOGY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 9:38 AM > Subject: Re: [MI-Genealogy] Old Negs - how to clean and get prints > > > Thank you phil, I have to clean them before I print them.
