I have hundreds, no thousands, of old pre-digital photographs which I’d like to scan..... some of these are 35mm slides and some are photos (for which I have most if not all of the negatives.)
I also have a rather old and not very sophisticated slide / neg scanner and some bundled software called Silverfast.
It is anything but fast on my laptop!
Silverfast’s process seems to be to do a pre-scan, then apply filters / corrections etc then a final scan. This takes a long time, especially if the result is not what you wanted.
An alternate path might be to choose a simple scan setting and scan all the photos and apply corrections in Lightroom.
That way I’ll have digital copies of all the photos (although I’ve no idea where I’ll store them yet) and be able to choose the best to post-process.
Has anyone been through this process who can offer any advice?
