A client just gave me several hundred family photos to scan.
That's just the start- next I have to crop each one, repair the defects (scratches, wrinkles, etc.), color correct and re-size them for both printing and emailing.

That's one hell of a responsibility- the virtual rebuilding of generations of a stranger's family tree.

It's gonna take weeks.

Now THAT'S the kind of work I really take pleasure in doing.

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!
Whew, that sounds like a lot of work!

But if you relish it........then, go for it.

I hope you don't have any deadlines...

Something like this needs time.

:hug:

2. Cool - I wish I could make it a paying gig instead of just doing it for family
What do you charge to do this kind of work?

7. It's hard to price something like this.
I'll be well paid.

5. If you're paid by the hour...
Use my scanner. It's as slow as molasses. You'll get enough money to buy your own island. Like Australia.
