So I have some photos that I want to scan onto my site, but the family scanner isn’t an option because:
A) It’s old
B) It doesn’t really work since it was dropped and then stepped on.
That being said, could I go to a Kinkos or Office Depot and have my photos scanned onto a CD-Rom and then transfer them to my page?
How exactly would I go about doing that? (The transferring from the CD-Rom to the web page bit)
I know, I’m not the most computer literate of Dopers.
Thanks in advance.
A) New scanners are really cheap. You can probably get a brand new one for less than $50.
B) Be nice to your electronics. 
I don’t know if Kinko’s will do scanning of photos for a low price. Most Photo CDs are created at the time that the film is developed - not after the fact. But getting the photos from CD-ROM to your computer would be no big deal - Place CD-Rom in your CD-Rom drive, drag and drop the whole lot of them onto your hard drive. Resize if necessary, stick them up on your web page.
PhotoCD can be made from slides and negatives too. It’s a bit more expensive than if you hand them an undeveloped film, but not by much. I’m not sure about prints.
Not a good one you can’t. Well, it depends on how good a one you need. Actually if they’re ending up on the web you don’t need high resolution or anything, do you?
But in the meantime, my scanner is down too, so my mother was looking into getting some famliy photos scanned onto disc for me to photoshop (yes, photoshop is now a verb :)) and she tried the local photo printing place (custom, not Walmart 1 hour), and they said no problem.
Look under Photo Finishing in the phone book.
Buying your own scanner would probably be cheaper in the long run, rather than having someone do it for you. Unless you can find somwhere that offers a simple, cheap service (I suppose you could find someplace that does).
I have vaguely looked into getting some of my negatives scanned for professional use (I sometimes sell my photographs) and to get a high-res scan is expensive. Getting a few pictures scanned would cost as much as a new scanner. I don’t know if there is any low-end alternative. Though, I did ask the local chain photo place if they’d scan my slides, and they said they’d do it for 75 cents each. But I was too cheap to have them do it, since I have a slide adapter on my scanner at home.
You can get an older (but still decent) scanner for probably $20 on eBay. And new ones are less than $100. A semi-decent one runs more, but as betenoir already pointed out, if the pictures are for the web, you don’t really need a nicer scanner. A lowend one will do fine.
Until you can replace your scanner, you must know someone that has one you can use. Scan them in on their computer then e-mail them to yours. For now anyway.
Unless you both have high speed internet you probably don’t want to email a bunch of photos. Depending on photo size and resolution the files can be rather large.
As far as transferring them to your web page, they are just another file that you reference in your HTML code. Of course you need to transfer tham to the web server just like all your other files. Some software handles this for you. Otherwise you’ll have to use a file transfer protocall (FTP) program such as WS-FTP.
How did you get the rest of the files onto the page?
