[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1025611, member: 19065"]You can always use older equipment and software. There's no need to feel forced to use the latest, greatest and online enabled equipment and software. One could set up an [U][I]off-line[/I][/U] scan station, connected to a computer running older graphics software. Save the files to a removeable data storage device (thumb drive, hard drive, CDR/DVD, etc.) and plug that into a machine to put files on a computer hooked up to the internet to avoid these issues. Sort of like using a film camera in the age of digital, takes longer but may avoid the encoded stamping that modern digital camera put on digital images. Yes, you'd still need to scan the negatives or prints and convert to file types to share the pics online, but you could still document your collection. Vinyl records can likewise be digitized at home with very little expense and effort and avoid digital music rights issues that come with crappy quality mp3's. Just because the equipment and/or software is old(er) and considered outdated by the majority, an industry or mainstream media doesn't mean it's still not a viable tool available for the right application. :smile[/QUOTE]
