Imagine..... all your photos, all in one place and a system that allows you to access any photo in literally seconds!! In this class we will talk about scanners so you can make copies and easily repair older slides and prints. We'll cover cloud storage services; owning VS renting space, how to cull through old photos; what to keep, what to toss. And, finally, how to simply get your photos off your phone. We will cover everything you need to know to complete this project... and quickly! Never worry about losing another photo again!
