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.
