Print to disc

My daughter bought me a great photo print & negative scanner for Christmas and I am seriously wondering if there is milage in offering a service that puts all your old prints onto an SD card for use in a 'moving' photo frame or onto disc for TV / computer viewing . I say prints because the negatives would be too time consuming to be viable I think.
I have run discoloured prints from 50 years ago through it and it restores them beautifully

Shades of Harry Potter, what a great idea!

Sounds like a goer to me (who can't even operate our scanner).

I've seen them and they look great.

I got my mum a digital photo frame for Xmas. She is much more technical than I am and had problems getting the scanned pictures to the right size.....so think it is something people mght pay to get done.

Offer the service.
Hand out leaflets.
See what happens.

I suspect that there are plenty of people out there who:
a) don't have the skill
b) can't be arsed.

Go for it.

(And experiment with your prices! What punter A thinks is good value is what punter B thinks is a rip off.)

Happy to offer advice off forum.
