|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Scanning large clips Matt Cashore, Photographer South Bend | IN | USA | Posted: 2:42 PM on 07.24.11 ->> Any recommendations on where I can send large printed pieces to be scanned? Like entire top-to-bottom front pages of newspapers or magazine double-trucks. These are miscellaneous clips that have significance to me personally but are getting old, yellowing, and taking up a whole bunch of space in my home office. They'd stand the test of time better as .jpgs or PDFs.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Why don't you photograph them if you have the time. The quality is still good and if you can set up a tripod and a section of wall to use in the office you can do it over a long period of time.

I would imagine you already have most of the gear you would need.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

In many cases, the quality is higher than a scan, and often it's quicker to do it this way.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

But they said that I would need written permission for each sheet from the newspaper before they could scan them. In the end, I photographed them myself. Not the best quality, but it worked out fine. Good luck. -Greg  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
