Digital Collection
Because most people use digital cameras these days, it is easy to get your photos onto your computer to make a photo collection. The only problem with this is that only half your photos in your collection are in your new digital collection. What are you to do with all the photos you have from the pre-digital camera era? For that, you will need to know how to get quality results scanning your photo collection. The reason most people need help with it is because there are ways to do it so your photos look professionally scanned.
Before you can get creative with your photos on your computer, you have to know how to get quality results scanning your photo collection. The first thing you need to do to get great photos on your computer is to get a high-quality scanner. This is where many people make the mistake. They buy a cheap scanner because they do not want to spend the money and are then disappointed when they cannot make enlargements or crops of their photos on their computer. Starting with a great scanner is the first step you need to have great results when you scan your film photo collection onto your computer to create a digital collection.
The next step you need to do if you want to know how to get quality results scanning your photo collection is to consider the resolution at which you are scanning. The resolution is measured in dots per inch. This simply means that in each inch of your photo, there are that many dots that make up the actual photo. Obviously, the higher the dpi number, the better quality you will have with your photos. Most scanners are capable of scanning more than 500dpi. You just have to keep in mind that the higher resolution setting you select, the longer it will take to scan your photo.
If you are planning on scanning a large number of photos at this high of a resolution, it is a good idea to buy a scanner that automatically crops your images. With this, you will not have to sit there clicking and making crops after you scan each photo. Getting great results at home does not have to be difficult but it just usually takes a while. Knowing how to get quality results scanning your photo collection before you get started is a great way to preserve your memories.

I want to record my old vinyl record collection onto digital format whats the easiest way?
Ok Ive got my old turntable +amp up and running again and good it sounds too.. I suppose i could buy a cd recorder but i was wondering if there is a simpler & cheaper way
I’ve converted lots of my old favorite LP’s to mp3 format. I figured it was time before the old turntable goes belly up.
All you need is an RCA – miniplug adapter and some software. Connect your amplifier auxiliary output to the blue line-in on your ‘puter and away you go….

You can probably find the Roxio software cheaper – I got an older version at Targét for $20. Nero is another option. Its even possible that you have a demo program already on your computer that will do it (although without all the fancy features of the full program).
