Hi all:
I don't know too much about photography. I own a
point and shoot digicam and that's about it.
I have a stack of old 35mm film photographs. Some
of them are faded and some of them are stuck to
each other (meaning the photos were stacked on
top of each other, stuffed in a envelope, and now
the photos are kind of stuck to each other).
These photos are quite precious. Yes, I was careless
back then.
I don't have any negatives. Just the printed/processsed
photos (on normal paper or whatever it was that
CVS/Rite-Aid/etc used to print negatives onto).
I would like to scan and archive all of these photos.
Money (to a reasonable limit) is no object -- I'm
willing to spend around $500-1000 if need be.
So 2 questions:
1) What is the best way to unstick the photos ? What
sort of solution/liquid would do the trick.
2) What is the best way to scan these photos ? I've
heard a drum-scanner is the way to go -- any good/trusted
places in Philadelphia or Manhattan ? [If they would
unstick the photos for me, that's even better]
Thanks and best regards,
--j
