I need help.
I want to do something that I think is simple but apparently is not. I have 12-inch by 12-inch scrapbooks (one is Creative Memories, and one is an old post-style.) I want to scan each page of the album and then create a Shutterfly digital album with the jpegs. Simple, right? Not exactly.
I did this before with 8-inch square albums, and it worked great. The problem with this new project is that I can’t scan a 12-inch square page. Here’s where I am at:
- My scanner is only 11″x17″.
- I’ve looked online, and I can’t find a scanner that is 12 inches on any side.
- I don’t want to scan half of the page and then the other half.
- I can not remove the photos because I am returning the albums as they are, so the page must be scanned intact.
- I took the pages to Staples, and while they can scan any size, they use a roller, not a glass plate.
- I can not put photo pages through a roller (at least I’m not willing to do so and Staples did not recommend it.)
So, I’m asking for help. Does anyone know where or how I can scan a 12-inch page without hurting the page? While I don’t have an unlimited budget, I am willing to hear any idea. Thank you for your help. I’d hate to abandon these projects.
