Do you have family history photos?
Would you like to learn how to take care of them?
Ever wondered what to do with them?
Worried about how to pass them on?
Ann answers questions big or small, about all areas of photogenealogy, including gathering, organising and backing up digital images, and sorting, digitising and preserving physical photos. And then using these images and photos in imaginative ways to create a treasured and valuable legacy.
In this session Ann addresses the question of the best PPI to use for scanning family history photographs, as well as advice about choosing a scanner for prints, slides, negatives, albums and frames, of all formats and sizes. She will also mention how to choose a suitable printer and paper.
