Many people have boxes of prints, negatives and transparencies from years gone by and don’t know what to do with them in this digital age. This course teaches you a number of methods to digitise your images so that you can use them on the computer, archive or print them. Learn the pros and cons of different methods and how to scan for best-quality results.

“I have a much better idea of how to sort out and archive all my favourite print and negatives. Very pleased.”
I have achieved what I needed to achieve to scan my prints, negatives and slides and in fact much more than I anticipated. I have also learnt how to scan my pictures this winter.”

Please bring a selection of old prints, negatives and transparencies to the first session which we will use to scan. To take your scans home it would be useful to bring a memory stick (or portable hard drive – please note PC-formatted hard drives can be read by Apple Mac computers, but not written to.)
