I need a software recommendation: my aunt has brought over an absolute ton of old photo albums going back to the early 1910s. I'd like to turn them into digital copies before they totally deteriorate. What can I use to do that? I don't own a scanner or anything on the hardware side. But I figure a good enough app might be able to get it done.

@zak@infosec.exchange My recommendation, is to grab an Epson scanner with the multi-photo selection option, OR get a good enough scanner, and pull them all into a repository, then individually carve them out with InfranView. The Epson app requires you to carve out each one at the time that you do it, where as infranview you scan everything and then work through, drawing a box around each one and striking the Keyboard shortcut to save it as IMAGE_1, 2, 3, etc... @Haileyeliah@digitaldarkage.cc has done the Epson path

@zak@infosec.exchange Did you check if your library has a scanner?
