<p>I know they are lazy and almost dead to me but I want them to look at the pictures and enjoy them and perhaps remember the fun we all had way back then</p>

 

<p><strong>Hi, I need some really serious Help, Please…</strong></p>

<p><strong>Background:</strong> I have a Kodak scanner Model 570 and scanned all my 1950’s era photos in B & W and have them in a folder or album in my iMac, all 380 of them. They have been cropped, adjusted patched up to the absolute best that I can make them with my Apple Photos App. </p>

<p>BTW that little scanner is the best thing I have ever seen, it makes perfect scans, don’t know why they don’t make them anymore, best 40 bucks I ever spent.</p>

<p><strong>Project: </strong>Now that I have them in an album or folder in my Mac I want to share them with my ungrateful siblings, relatives, etc that I had to beg, borrow and steal from just to get the photos’s they all had, but lied and said they did not have. I want to put the photos into a Kick Ass Slide show with Music, Captions, Titles, Narrations, Credits, Bells and Whistles and get it together into a <strong>epic</strong>slide show that you just cannot walk away from, the type of show you just gotta see what is coming next and I want to do it on the cheap. </p>

<p><strong>Problems:</strong> I just don’t happen to have 400 bucks laying around doing nothing for a copy of Photo Shop.</p>

<p><strong>Problems encountered so far:</strong> I have searched the net and fallen for the free this, and the free that, only to find they don’t do what I want, or it is really not free, or the download is free, but if you want to use it, you gotta pony up a CC Card number, or to find the cheapie program I have on my computer is better, and most of them are full of other commercials for stuff not related to what I want to do anyway.</p>

<p>I need something that takes a dummy like me by the hand and leads me step by step thru the process and does most of the hard work by itself. I don’t mind paying if it does what I need it to do, but so far everything is just one big commercial for something I don’t want.</p>

<p>When completed I want my <strong>Lazy, Almost Dead to Me,</strong> relatives to have to click on one link to make the magic come alive. They are all so lazy. Did I mention that they are lazy already??</p>

<p>I know there is several of you out there reading this that know exactly what I need and probably have done something like this yourself.</p>

<p>Please help me out, goona be 78 soon, want get it done while I still remember who I am looking at in the pictures.</p>

<p>I need help with my scanned pictures<br>

I have the Kodak 570 scanner and it works great, and does a nice clear job of scanning in both 300 and 600 DPI and putting the photos on an SD card.<br>

here is my new issue<br />When I insert the SD card in my apple iMac with OS X I get an icon of the card<br />I click on the card and get a small menu, the one selection the instruction says says to click on is Photo1<br />I do that and I get a list of the photo's by number starting with EK0001 and so on<br />I click on one and a photo pops up about 2/3's of the screen size and very clear<br />My problem is I do not seem to be able to do anything with it<br />iPhoto in my Mac has been replaced by a new program just called "Photos"<br />When I right click on a picture I get a choice of things to do, one of them is send it to Photos, when I click on that nothing happens except a screen flash, however I can send them to insert into an email, or Facebook or other places.<br />I have looked all over Photos but I cannot find the pictures<br /><br />What to do at this point is my question?</p>

<p>I looked over that Vuescan link and it basically tells me how to scan something from a flat bed scanner. I have a good HP 5200 all in one that scans really nice pictures but that proceedure is slow as mud.<br>

Don't think that applies to me.<br>

When I get my Kodak 570 Scanner what I want to do with the scanned photos is arrange them in groups like a 1965 party at Mom's house or boating with Dad, or Christmas family gathering 1980 something and so on and so forth and get all that on a dvd or cd, set it up as a slide show with a caption under each picture, perhaps some background music or even narration so viewers looking at hundreds of pictures will not get bored and want to keep watching.<br>

I will need all the advice and help once I have the pictures scanned to do what I want to do, I now have grandkids and great grandkids that never got to know or meet my grandfather or my father or my sister and brother, I have pictures of all of that I want to get all that on a disc and send to the family to share</p>

<p>Bought a Kodak P-570 on eBay it will be here by the end of the week. The seller got it at an estate sale, said it looks brand new but it was missing the Kodak EZ Share Program disk. It was probably just a photo shop type thing and I have iPhoto, so no problem. 37.00 plus shipping. </p>

<p>I have found what the differences are on the models<br>

A P 460 will take photos up to 4 inch by 6 inch The 461 is just a later version of the 460<br>

A P 570 will take photos up to 5 inch by 7 inch<br>

An 811 will do photos up to 8 inch by 11 inch<br>

Each size up means a later model<br>

There is another similar machine called a pandigital, but that company has gone out of business,<br>

Did a bit of looking around and they seem to be decent machines, sure would like to hear from some one that actually has one</p>

 

<p>I have an HP all in one, it just labor intensive doing one at a time on a flat bed scanner. I want something I can just feed pictures one after the other into and they go right on an SD card </p>

<p>I have box's of photos I want to scan and get in my computer, I am looking to get an inexpensive pass through scanner, I see several Kodak models on eBay, they are the P 460, P 461, P 570, P 811. What is the difference between them? Are they a decent unit? They are all sold on eBay, some are used, some advertised as new old stock and all under 100 bucks.</p>
