If you’ve been on this planet for more than a couple of decades, you probably have boxes of 35mm slides, negatives, and photo prints collecting dust in your back closet. You'd love to convert them to a digital format, but feeding one slide after another through a scanner is a painfully boring way to spend every weekend for the next three months. Thankfully, there are less-tedious ways to convert your old images to something far more usable in the digital age. Rather than letting your old photos continue to get older in a shoebox, you can ship them off to an online scanning service. For pennies per photo, you can let someone else transform those inaccessible memories into digital images you can share and enjoy as if they were taken yesterday.
