300 Photo Album

Okay. So my grandmother asked me to make her family photo albums digital and she said she would pay me. There are about 250-300 photos and I have to scan them by page and then crop them. About how much should I ask her for?

i think 250USD would be alright.

wat format should i scan them in and what format i should save them in to import into the indesign document. some hav said TIFF but that will be WAYYY to large since i hav around 300 images. is there a difference in print quality if i save them as hi res jpegs

JPEGS MAY be good enough if you save them in a VERY high resolution. The problem with jpegs is that they DO lose some resolution detail every time you resave them. For example, you scan them and save. Some detail lost. You open up the file and make some photographic fixes, and then save the changes. Some detail lost. You reopen the files to make a collage or some other Photoshop trick and save it. More loss. You get the idea?

Now, if you scan and save an image in jpeg only once, the loss is limited only to that one time. But, if you import the jpegs into an InDesign document, you will be working for a long time on that album and adding a lot of images, moving them around, making saves and changing your layouts, etc. (and you HAVE to make saves often because, if something goes wrong, you don't want to lose a lot of work done between saves.

So, for such a project, with 300 images, jpegs are not the best solution. It may be "good enough," but there is no doubt that saving them in a non compressed format will make for a better result. So, my question to you is, how large a file is "WAYYY too large?" As long as you have the large enough hard drive space, what does it matter? Once the project is done, save it all to CD or DVD and delete it from your hard drive.

Do what the pros to and go with the TIFF.
