We purchased a relatively inexpensive scanner/printer combo from Best Buy. It's an HP. It comes with scanning software. It's fairly simple, just lay your photo on the scanner bed, close the lid, and hit the scan button. After it's scanned you can crop it, rename the file to identify it, etc...It's a good bit of work if you have a lot of photos. It took us several sessions to scan ours all in. We did our slides also, but that was with a different kind of scanner.
