This year was my husband's mother's 90th birthday party. We were all asked to go through our photos and pull out select ones. My hubby scanned them. That started a huge project. He decided to go through all of our photos and scan the best and throw out the rest. We have a great scanner on our printer so it was fast and easy. He scanned all total of 1200 photos. He put them in order also. Now we have them all on a thumb drive. We threw out 18 photo albums full of photos. Most were showing age. I went through the newly scanned ones and using picassa was able to enhance them very nicely. We just came back from a trip to my son's house where we presented him with his copy of the thumb drive. We sat and went through a slide show of all of the photos. He was so excited to have them all. This project took my husband about 6 weeks in his spare time.
