Thread Name: Tech: Efficient Photo Scanning
Subject: Tech: Efficient Photo Scanning
I work as a volunteer at a women's center in the poor part of Sacramento. The nun who founded the certer is a gifted photographer, and there are (now aging) photographs all over our walls. Today I discovered two bookcases full of photo albums and boxes of photos, and the plan is to have volunteers scan all those photos.

Can anybody give advice on how to efficiently scan lots and lots of 4x6 photos? Can I put four on the scanner bed and scan all at once, and get separate JPEG's?

Next question - is there a scrapbook Website or somewhere else that I can display these photos more artistically than I can at the usual photo sites? I could create Web pages for that, but it would be nice to have something more artistic than I can manage and if I didn't flood our (free) Website space with too many photos.
