Edd - as they are prints even an ordinary printer with a flat bed scanner will work, provided the resolution is set at 600-1200 dpi, and any post-processing is done with a decent software app such as VueScan or Photoshop Elements. VueScan may be a bit complex for her, but Elements or even Microsoft Photo have some adjustment capability. If not, I have used an Epson V500 successfully for the same job.

My sister has been asking me about how to get her old printed photos scanned to digital files. My guess is her family albums of 4x6's. Should she use a service or buy a bulk scanner (vs flatbed). The scanners run $200-$600 depending on quality (Epson FastFoto FF-680W being the high end, Plustek the low end). Hard to spend $600 for what essentially is tool for only a limited amount of time. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? Preferences one way or the other? -- Thanks!
