    Hey – congrats.

  • reflector replied

    Hi Lindsay ! Thanks for your comment and the fave ! Last night I had a bit of fun scanning old B & W photos and improving their tones a bit. It’s great to see them on screen.

  • linskudd

    linskudd

    I agree re the scanning. I found it all worth while – and it means that all the family can have computer copies of any or all of the photo’s.

  • reflector replied

    Yes, that’s a great benefit as well. :)
