I’ve used this on my personal photos. You can read the blog here.
What about negatives? Did you know that if you have the negative you will get a better digital image from it rather than scanning a photo from the same negative? But how do you store negatives? You can purchase sleeves on Amazon that can be stored in a binder for future use. You’ll find that product HERE.
Other Helpful Tools
MyHeritage
MyHeritage is a genealogy website, but this site also offers photo enhancement and colorization. This is a paysite that has a yearly subscription fee.
To learn more go to MyHeritage HERE.
Reimagine
Reimagine he’s you scan your photos with ease. This is a $$ app that is available on both iOS and Android..
Easy to use, and best of all, you can do a page at a time. Perfect when you are meeting family, and they have photos to share.
Once you’ve scanned your photo, that’s when the magic begins because you can fix cracks and make other repairs, enhance, and colorize. If you have a MyHeritage account, they will automatically be uploaded to your account.
A yearly Reimagine subscription costs only $49.99 (or equivalent in local currency) and begins with a 7-day free trial, so users can experience the app before they commit. A monthly subscription costs $7.99/month and does not come with a free trial. Both plans include unlimited use of all Reimagine features.
Google Photo Scan
This is a free app that’s available for both Android and iPhone.
This app is a bit trickier than Photomyne because you have to keep moving your photo to capture the scan, and you can’t enter the date the photo was originally taken. It may not be practical if you have hundreds of photos to scan.
If You Have a Scanner Here’s a Tip
You can download a program called ScanSpeeder and use it with your flatbed scanner. Scan several photos at the same time and separate them. Download the FREE version or purchase the Pro version and be able to scan slides and more. Be sure to check if your scanner is compatible.

FOREVER
Converting all your medium is as easy as buying a FOREVER Box. FOREVER sends the box to you, you fill it with your items to be converted, and then once they are converted, they are returned back to you, and your items are uploaded to a USB drive or DVD as well as to your FOREVER Storage. We now have two types of boxes; an item box and a specialty box.
In the FOREVER item box, you can choose from 2, 10, 20 items. 1 cassette = 1 item, 1 VHS = 1 item, 25 photos = 1 item.. Learn more HERE. You choose what is uploaded to your account. But I encourage you to put it into FOREVER Storage.
FOREVER Specialty Box is for just that items that are larger items to be scanned. You can find out more HERE. You pay for the box, and you receive that dollar value in scanning. If you have more, then you will be told how much the overage will cost.
Don’t have a FOREVER account? Then accept my invite and get 2GB for FREE and $20 to spend (60 days to spend it). That gives you the opportunity to see what FOREVER is all about and then use your $20 to purchase FOREVER Storage.
