More Decisions on what to scan

Some more decisions about what to scan and what not to scan.

  • If the back as a date on it -> Scan it
    • But if the date is the same as the backs of the previous photos -> Do not scan
      • Unless it's hand-written
  • Negatives
    • If you've already scanned the positives -> Do not scan
      • There is no way the negative could ever be scanned as good as the positive
    • Unless the positive is defective in some way (torn, faded, falling apart, etc.)
  • Envelopes
    • If they have dates, addresses, or hand-writing on them -> Scan it
  • Pictures from friends of family who you don't know -> Scan it
    • But only scan it at low resolution
  • Scan documents as photographs
    •
