digitizing photo service

chasedawg · 06-11-2016, 05:52 PM

I'm looking for a service in the lakes region that can take old and different size photographs scan them, put them on a CD or DVD for presenting to an audience from a laptop. Can anyone recommend a local service. Since I retired from the tech world 12 years ago I have lost contact with the latest technology. Thank you.

Spectrum Photo in downtown Wolfeboro used to advertise that service.

Lake Side Mailing in Meredith appears to offer this service.

Depending on your quality and quantity needs, simply taking a picture with a late model smart-phone could suffice in a pinch.

Also, when not online, most presentations are carried around on USB thumb-drives these days. They are inexpensive, easier to deal with than CDs, and not all laptops used for presentations have CD drives.

If you have film or slides this converter (film scanner) works well.

If you have prints a combination printer/ scanner works well.
