Maybe a dumb question...

...but I have a sh*tload of old pictures and really would like to have them digitalized...

Is there a quick and easy sollution?

Or should I scan them manually by hand.....

For the best results, scanning is the best option.  I have photographed some old pictures but I think scanning gives a better image.

I'm not very conversant with some of the new scanners, maybe a Google search will help.  

Can you put several pictures together so you could maybe scan 3 or 4 at a time?

If you don't mind paying, I'm sure you can get it done commercially.  

Just another thought.
