Hi All,
I'm thinking about getting a portable scanner so I can copy photos from my older relatives, without them having to part with their photos. This seems to be a major issue with some of them, so I have to find another way to obtain them. Also, I'd use it for copying other papers that they may have.
Does anyone have a portable scanner and if so, do you like it? It would also get used for business cards, travel receipts, etc..., but I would really like it for my genealogy research.
Takk for hjelpen!
Hils Wanda |

Tusen takk, Einar!
That is very similar to the one I am looking at.
It sounds like I would be able to use it for many things. I would also be able to take it to Norway with me, on my next visit, so I can scan items from relatives there.
Takk igjen!

Wanda,
The review of this scanner indicates it works best with normal sized paper, and is very sensitive to sheet alignment.
Photos come in various sizes and if mounted to cardboard type frames could be a thickness problem.

Thanks, Les!
I am considering the IRIScan Executive 2, because I need one that's compatible with a Mac computer. I'm just looking around trying to get the best deal. It comes with photo editing software, so I'm hopeful that it will work. Everything I've read, sounds like it may take awhile to get it set up, but once you do, it works fine for color or black and white photos. I've got my fingers crossed.
Thanks again, Wanda |
