I have on loan from my father, a large number of photos which his dad took from about 1905 to 1914 and I am trying to digitise them. They are mostly sepia with some blak and white. The problem is that if I try to scan tem in, as I do for most photos I have copied in the past, they are nearly all out of focus.
The only difference as far as I can see is that the failures are all set in albums, with a thin "thickness" of card between them and the glass of the scanner, but I wouldn't have thought that the scanner would have had such a narrow depth of focus as to make this the reason for focus failure, or am I wrong?
Helpful suggestions please - I'm certain that I can't be the first person to have this problem.
