I have a grouping of about 150 slides that my brother had taken while in Vietnam in 65-66. Anyone know of a place that will put them on CD or is able to print them on photos?
I think it's a waste of money to just have them scanned and printed: you want a digital file you can use to make your own prints or web phots.
You want them scanned at high resolution which means you do not want them just scanned at video DVD or even HDTV resolution. Check out http://digmypics.com...deScanning.aspx - I would recommend their 7MP scan: this will provide enough detail that you could crop and enlarge portions of a photo to better see details, and/or make nice size prints.

Forum Support - I've got a ton of old steel sleeve slides and I see digmypics will scan those. Do you have any experience you can pass along doing business with this vendor?I think it's a waste of money to just have them scanned and printed: you want a digital file you can use to make your own prints or web phots.

I bought an HP G series scanner that can scan a good number of slides at a time and it does very well. Cost me under $200.00 but would be prohibitive if all you were going to do was scan those 150 slides.
I had done that for a co-worker whos father served on the CVS-33. i bought the slides and scanned all 200+ and made a slide show for a DVD for her.
Good luck.

I recently acquired close to 80 negative prints.., they look like slides.., larger.., but they have the 'negative' image on them.
Anyone know how I can get these scanned into a decent photo?

A few years ago I picked up several hundred negatives in a German collection. There were pictures of German Aircraft as well as numerous Concentration Camp pictures. I took them to a local photographer and he was able to make prints of all the pictures.
It cost about $175.00 but it was well worth it. Some very interesting and graphic photos.

ok.. I was hoping I could somehow digitally scan them.., then do a 'reverse' in a photo software to get the 'print' out of them.
