Do you have printed photos that you want to make digital copies of but have so many questions you can't get started?  

There are lots of things to consider and the overwhelm of options often prevents us from taking action.

On one hand, printed photos are the safest way to preserve our memories.  They won't corrupt like digital files, they can't be deleted by the touch of a button or the crash of a computer, and you can hold them in your hands.

On the other hand, they are extremely vulnerable to fire, flood, mould, and destruction.  Often we only have one copy of a print so when it is gone it is gone.

They also take up storage space which often decreases as we downsize.

All this might lead you to think about making digital copies of your printed photos.
However, now you have questions like:

What type of scanner should I get?
What settings do I use?
What do I do with the prints once scanned?
How do I store the digital images?
Do I scan the back and the front?
What about the dates? 
How do I store the ones I want to keep?
. 
So many questions!

Luckily, this short course is all about how to digitise, organise, protect and store your prints.
