Can this machine copy old photos?

It probably could but I think a flat bed scanner would be better for that purpose and less stressful in the photos .

I have copied many old photos with my Doxie. I cut the holes side out of a clear page protector to make a cover to hold fragile or torn photos when scanning them. Then I crop out the non-photo parts before saving. That little trick makes it possible to scan very old delicate photos.

I would think so. Although, if they are really old and fragile I would just use a flat bed scanner, it won't be quite as speedy, but they will ensure that no damage is done to your photographs. Not saying that Doxie damages any documents, but I would err on the side of caution.I use this scanner for old college notes and any ol' document, but for pictures, drawings and photographs I use my canon flatbed scanner.

Hi Wally, Yes you can, but the quality will not be as good. You can also scan the photo. Either way, you will need to rezize to 800 x 600 and lower the DPI to 72. Here is a great link for you: https://nix.zendesk.com/entries/22222492-How-to-Re-Size-Photos-for-your-Digital-Frame

I don't see why it wouldn't depending on whether or not your system would fit. Ghost? Why bother? If you are using Windows you can make an image without having to purchase anything else. If you're using Windows 8, search for backup and restore.

Thanks for all the answers. Actually, I googled this and found out I could just drop and drag files using the Computer screen and that it working great to transfer the photos.Thanks again.

Yes. Import the photos into a photo editing software. I use Picasa (Google product) and I can crop, change the lighting, contrast, etc. Works great. Only problem with the maching are with pictures that are odd sizes. If the picture comes out of the feeder slide. its hell to get the photo out from inside the machine. I tried using clear plastic but it degraded the lightness of the photo

Not really. I tried scanning OLD poloroid photos that were glued to the back of cardboard, you may be too young to remember those, but it didn't like those too much and I used my big copier/scanner for those. Also, it likes some old newpaper and not other so I would be careful about what you put thru. It did an amazing job on my photos, tho, like we got printed in the old days from Walgreen's so you can compare your project to those items. My Mom uses it for her printed out geneology that is on regular 20# printer paper and it does great. Don't know if I answered your questions but I tried. Not really.

I think you should be able to, though I never tried. I did try to import photos, which worked. But, if the file is large, it may take a long time.

Use an old computer ... It works great ... You just need enough hard drive space

I have an older pc with a tower. It contains a slot to put the SD card from your camera. After I insert the SD card all of my photos will transfer to the computer via Windows Photo Gallery. The only problem with this is it will import every photo again unless you delete what you don't want from your camera first. It's worth the trouble because I have never had a camera that takes such great photos.

I would suggest that you copy and paste all of your photos in to a new folder then write a batch command that will save them as PC instead of MAC. Then they should transfer.

Yes. We scanned a number of photo's for my father-in-law's memorial, both old and new and it did a great job. Very fast and efficient in handing the scan and the file save.

Just take the memory card. You put it in the machine and select what pictures you want printed and you can edit them too.

No... this machine is strictly for the capture of your old slides and negatives into digital format, a job that it does quite well.

No This machine is very out of dateDoesn't work with iPhone 5 or abovePoor quality photosDon't get it!

Yes. The printer will read it like a thumb/jump drive. You should be able to print any picture on there.

No you can not. I strongly advise you not to get this machine as it is very low quality and breaks often. After two broken machines and less than three months of use my current is inoperable and useless.

No. The file would be too large. The system over writes the old ones once full. This enables you to keep a record longer.
