I spent a chunk of Labor Day weekend at Grandma's, scanning some great old photos. Here's a quick, techie outline of my approach. Comments are invited.
- I scanned to loss-less TIF for quality.
- I scanned at 600 dpi for most photos, 1200 dpi for the most important photos.
- I want to upload the files to a private area on Flickr so that family and friends can create their own prints.
- I plan to create a build script that will accept one XML file per photo (containing caption and such information) and will use...
- IrfanView to convert the TIF to a JPG,
- EXIFutils to add EXIF information like caption and tags, and
- PowerShell to hook the whole thing together.

Hi,
I just noticed this lovely picture. The motorcycle is a 1942 Royal Enfield WD/CO. Do you have any more pictures from this series I wonder? I am asking you this because I am doing a research job on the war time and early post war history of the WD Enfields. These pictures may contain some very useful information!
Thank you very much for your reply,
Regards,
Jan
