How to get your old photos onto a digital photo frame
Posted by David Allen in Digital Frames on 11 20th, 2008 | 

A question that often occurs when it comes to digital photo frames is that they are ok for new images captured on a new digital camera.

 

However, what if there is someone who has a nice collection of old photographs, you know the ones which used 35 mm film and cost a fortune to get them developed only to have them put into an old box never to be seen again.

So getting this type of image onto the digital photo frame is going to be easier than you think, but you are going to need to equipment. First up a computer and a scanner, a lot of people already own a scanner but have probably never used it at all.

 

But now there is a great reason to dig the scanner out, because with this tool you can copy your old photographs onto the memory of the computer. Once stored on the hard drive it is only a matter of copying them onto the memory card that goes with the digital photo frame. You may need a card reader for this, although a lot of computers have this facility these days.

 

That is more or less it; the great thing about having these images on the computer is that they are always going to be safe.

 

Of course if you do not want to go about it in this manner, then you could always take the photographs to a processor who can put them onto a CD, then all you would need to do is put the CD into your computer.
