TIP OF THE WEEK –
HELP WITH PHOTOS, SLIDES & NEGATIVES
At the end of the virtual SGS Membership Meeting last week,  members were asked if they had anything to share. A couple members recommended products for repairing and digitizing old photos, negatives, slides, film, and documents. 

The first product is called “RESTORE” by Vivid-Pix.com. With this software you can instantly improve the picture quality of those old faded scanned photos, slides, or documents. There are versions for Windows or Mac computers. The Free Trial Version provides all the features of Vivid-Pix “RESTORE” and 10 Free Fixes.

The next product is Kodak’s Scanza, a self-contained scanner built to scan slides, negatives, and films of various sizes (35mm, 126, 110, Super 8, and 8mm film) onto your computer via USB cable, or directly to a SD card. That’s right, you don’t even need a computer. Speedier and more convenient than a flatbed scanner and capable of basic adjustments for color correction and brightness is what the reviewers say.   

You can find full descriptions and reviews of both these items online. Check them out for yourself. Possibly one of these will be just what you need for your particular family photos archiving project.
