I've done about 200 so far. It's downright addictive!

These discolored old photos look great with just a little Photoshop!

1. And, if you're too broke for Photoshop, download "The Gimp"
Open source photo editing software....just spreading the word!

2. Burn them to CD and send them to everyone in your family.
Make a few 29 cent digital prints and send those too.

Yes, it's addictive. I also like to convert old 8mm family movies.

Kids like to see a few good movies of their grandparents and great grandparents. (They always seem to be surprised there is no sound!)

4. Epson Perfection 1250
Works well with the newer Macs.

Don't know about PC stuff.
