Ok I have 131 photos of my wedding to scan into the computer. Anyone know or use a service out there that I can send these photos to and have returned to me with a cd copy of all photos for a decent price.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have already scanned 30 myself but at this rate I won't be done until next year sometime.
I think if I paid for this service I would also get a better scan.

From what I understand most film scanning services charge between $5-10 per image.

Professional scanning is expensive : (
The place I work uses a company called ScanArt in Emeryville, CA, but they don't have a regular website I can find. You might also check with Cantoo in Berkeley. |

Maybe I should have said good quality scans can be expensive.
Are they scanning prints or negatives for that price?
BTW: Are these your photos? |

Prints and yes they are mine
At that much a scan I may as well scan them myself.

Sorry rex, I was thinking about the scanning of negatives, not prints. But, yes even at .79 a print it adds up.

Well it is only about $100. I am willing to pay that if I can find a good company I can trust to send my prints to and have them returned.

| I would suggest scan them yourself. I really don't think it takes that long. I can easily scan 50-60 photos a day. Plan it. Scan 10, then walk around and take a break. Come back to scan a few more. Have fun. Have some popcorn. Do it while watching a movie ;-) |

I agree! I recently scanned over 1000 negatives from the 50's to the 80's (before my parents were married up until I was a teenager). It was tedious at times but you get into a rhythym and it can go fast.
