limtex--To scan old black and white photos, I have used a high resolution, close focus digital camera with a great deal of success and very little hassle. A full frame digital camera shot (you have to be careful how you light the photo to prevent glare or uneven lighting) will allow you to reproduce the photo with virtually no loss of detail. I have also used my Adobe software to create a tint that matches the original (which may have faded from true black and white to a brownish hue on cream colored paper). I make the reproduction in full color, rather than black and white, in order to come as close as possible to the original. I think a scanner would make it easier, frankly, but I'm just as happy that I haven't bought one of the older, more expensive models. The new Epson sounds like it is in my price range. A USB connection is probably fast enough, but a firewire would certainly help for a large image. Art
