Hi Loretta, For years, actually decades I pestered my relatives about family tree pictures. I would go to their homes and copy every picture I could with a regular SLR camera with closeup lenses. I have thousands. The problem I had was the long time to develop the film and to laboriously print the pictures. Then with the pictures in hand, how could I share them with everyone that wanted copies? Xerox just didn't do a good job and there wasn't enough time to print them in the darkroom. I wanted to put the pictures on regular paper along with data about the person. The job was endless. Then, along came the digital cameras and photo editors on our computers. I now copy family tree pictures and cemetery pictures to computer disks. Transferring them to paper in any size or placement is a breeze. And additional copies are easy. Also the regular camera pictures are easily copied to disk. Even the negatives never printed are no problem as the negatives can be digitally photographed and the photo editor can turn them into positives. The slides you used to take, can be copied the same way. Instead of the scanning time, you just hear a click and the photo is recorded. Of course you need the proper lighting to do this copying. just a thought, Paul
