I just recieved this first of six boxes.

[Ptah]

My sister scanned our father's slides onto CDs.
Each box has fifty CDs with ten photos on each CD.

Here is the first one I have resized, with me in my
maternal Grandma's lap. Behind her is my Mother.
Seated on your left is my great Grandmother.




Sister scanned them in at very high resolution.(5905 x 4032);they average 69,959 KB.
yikes!

Edit for spelling.

1. Wow! Back to a different era!

I like how you're staring right into the camera!

I was already trying to pay attention.

3. My dear Ptah!

What a wonderful picture!

I can see the adult you in your baby face, sweetie...

I think we're going to see a few pictures.......and I cannot wait!

I've asked my husband for a printer/scanner for my birthday...

Then you can see my old stuff too...

Keep 'em coming!

:hug:

[Ptah]

4. I'll try to keep it to a minimum.

Thanks.

5. Did it crash your system just trying to open the files

Criminy that is a huge file size.

[Ptah]

6. I don't know why she scanned them at 4000 dpi.

I have been steadily feeding them to my computer for three hours.

I just know started the twenty-first disc.

Since I started, the hyphen has been dissalowed, so
it is the twenty first disc.

7. Nothing like the mutability of language.

[Ptah]

11. It's very rewarding.

Do it!

12. I can still remember great Grandma H's whisker when she'd hug me.

:blush:
That's probably TMI

[Left Is Write]

[Ptah]

16. your sister is very dedicated! Very nice upload by the way

[Ptah]

19. Yes, my sister has an ability to complete seemingly impossible projects.

:hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

24. I on the other hand am only good at thinking them up or once in a while,

actually starting them ...:shrug:

[Kajsa]

17. That's a great picture, Ptah.

1951 is the year I was born.;-)

It's neat looking back in time.

:hi:

[Ptah]

20. Thanks, Kajsa

:hi:

22. 24 megapixels - though subtract one or two once you nix the black border...

Must be a dedicated film scanner and not a cheap flatbed.

Cool slides; nice slice of history.

Thanks for sharing!

[Ptah]

23. Yes, it was a dedicated scanner, part of

the photo lab she used for her degree program at the University.

After I save them to a drive, I'm going to convert them to jpg.

I'll bore many of you when I have them ready to post.
