I know there is that epson machine that is most talked about for scanning your old photos. But I was wondering if anyone has gone through the entire process already. Which method do you recommend? If one were to use the epson photo scanner, how exactly does it work? How does it pick up on the dates chronologically or do you stack them up chronologically first before you scan? After they are scanned, I hear it comes on a drive? A drive? How do you view it? Is it easy to view? I'm a millennial so let's say my current standard of use is a MacBook Pro, how do I view these photos on my MacBook Pro? How do I back them up in several copies protecting against lost like the rest of my current "stuff" where I have at least 1 backup on a hard drive as well as the hard drive in the MacBook so there is at least 2 backups. Also, the for example epson scanned photos, can they be viewed from iPhotos on the MacBook? If so, is it automatically chronologically. Yeah, how the heck does it actually work?
