Saving hard copy photos

I have hundreds of hard copy photos.  Need to make room for storage and want to either copy, scan to discs.  Which is the easiest, quickest way to do this.  I have a HP Photosmart All-in-One e-printer.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

What printer model? (There are many Photosmart models.)
I would suggest using Solution Center to scan the files, use "millions of colors" and "300ppi" settings for scanning.  Some models will allow putting several photo's on the glass at once and the scanner software will automatically scan each picture into a seperate file.  This will make the process faster.
Be aware that for hundreds of photo's this will not be a quick process....

  • Copying photos from iPhotos to an external hard drive, changes the dates the photo was created

    I have the odd query where when I copy photos from iPhoto in to any other folder, whether it's on the mac deskstop or an external hard drive, that the 'date created' on the some of the photos is changed from the date the photo was actually taken to some random date. This is sometimes the date that I move the photos and sometime a date seemingly randomly selected between the date when the photo was taken and then date I copied the photos.
    It doesn't make a different if I copy or cut and paste each file, and if I select all photos from a single event and copy then all in one go, some photos keep the correct data and others don't.
    Most of these photo of of my baby, so the exact date take is very important ofr reference. Current I have a 100 odd photos taken over a few weeks all with the same 'created date'. I have no idea if she was 10 week or 20 weeks old at the time.
    Any ideas? It's really frustrating me.

    No
    iPhoto never does anything with a photo that is not in its library
    Although it does not affect this do you have a default managed library or a (strongly not recommedned) referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.

    hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR sees every other drive. My computer sees it fine, so i was able to create a catalogue there. Im running windows 8.1. Any ideas ? I will also add that this drive became corrupt and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they didn't do a very good job.. ..

    Yes pretty much that, but to clarify sorry
    Opened Lightroom.
    Create new catalogue.
    This opened the Windows 8 file explorer window and Windows recognises the drive. So I was able to create a catalogue there and save.
    I then inserted my memory card into my card reader which LR recognised. I selected it, chose all the photos within and then navigated to the right side of the Lr import dialogue window to locate this problem drive as on this occasion i want the RAW files on the same drive as the lrcat. However all my other drives are listed but not this Samsung SSD.
    In addition this Samsung SSD is not listed a drive to import from in the same dialogue window.

  • Back-up and hard copy of tags etc for photos

    One of the things I use PE7 (and its predecessors) for is to keep track of the contact sheets I make of my film negatives.  Each sheet has a number, date and a number of tags that allow me to find all the photos taken on a particular date with a particular subject.  Is it possible to make a hard copy of all the information I have on each contact sheet?  I want to store the hard copy in the same binders as I keep the original contact sheets.  The negatives and contact sheets will last for quite a few generations, and I'd like to keep all the information together for whomever may be interested in these pictures at some far-off future date (I know, presumptuous of me to think anybody might be, but just in case).

    I'm not clear on precisely what form you want the hard copy, but PSE doesn't provide you any way to get a list of tags and photos that you could put into another program, e.g. Word.  However, the free utility psedbtool will dump out an Excel spreadsheet containing the contents of your catalog, including filenames, lists of tags and albums, etc.:

    This may or may not meet your needs.

  • Unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

    unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

    The correct method of restoring photos from Time Machine is to restore the entire library.
    The way that TM backs up files makes nearly impossible to go into the backup via the Finder and recover individual files. So you will have to restore a library that contains the photos you need being sure to select the option to keep both versions.
    Then open the restored library and export those photos you need.  Open your original library and import those photos.  After that you can delete the recently restored library.

  • How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?

    How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe?

    How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe? When I print this particular page in the usual way it prints only the text of that page, not the photo that's also part of that page.

    I have Adobe SendNow, but I can buy another Adobe product if it will solve my web page printing problem.

  • I cant copy photo's out of iPhoto, I select them all but if I want to paste them for example to my nas or a folder on my macbook, the paste option wont appear. I tried with export, didnt work either. It used to work, but now all of a sudden it wont.

    I cant copy photos out of iphoto (event), I can copy them but if I want to paste them in another folder on my macbook or nas hdd, I dont have the option "paste" If I select some of the pic's it sometimes works.I also tried with export them but didnt work either.
    I used to load them into iphoto manged them and then simly copied them and saved them on my nas and/or my macbook's hdd in a folder, but now it wont work. I have now thousents of photo i cant copy, its a mess....
    it might be a problem with an update as I had also a mess with my music after updating to the latest itunes.
    has anybody an idea how to fix this??

    That warning sign comes up when iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original photos.  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Problems Copying Photos in iPhoto to Folder on Desktop

    I am trying to copy photos that are in iPhoto to a folder on my desktop. I have just tried to copy & paste but I keep getting the error message "The items on the Clipboard can't be pasted to this location. One or more of thw items may have been deleted or are no longer available." Most of the photos were transfered from my old mac to the new one via external hard drive, could that be where the problem lies? Please help!

    Sorry - got versions confused - under the file menu in '11 - "reveal in finder"
    I suspect that your original photo is missing in action
    if the reveal in finder does not show the original right click on teh iPhoto library package and show package contents - look (Make no changes) in the masters folder and see if the photo that we tested is there

  • When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

    When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS.
    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?
    HELP!

    A bit confused by your statement

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

I do all my iPhoto work on an external drive where I have copied my iPhoto Library, can I also install Elements 13 on my external harddrive or drag Elements 13 over from my iMac so that I can do work with Elements 13 via the exteranl hard drive? Thanks tb

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • Copy photos from DVD to Mac?

    I would like to copy photos from DVD to Mac computer anyone know how to do it.

    If the DVD was made on a Mac and they're JPEGs they should openable in Preview from the DVD. If so, just select them and drag them into a new folder to copy onto your hard drive. If the Mac doesn't recognize the DVD and it doesn't mount in the finder window or on the desktop, I'd say you're out of luck. But there are work arounds possible and too many to discuss without knowing a lot more about your setup and the DVD.
