Apologies to my fellow mods. If this is in the wrong place I'll move it.
I'm starting a photo project which collects photos from family members, edits them if necessary, then puts them into a final formal (probably slideshow). There will be several of these with the initial photos mostly the same and then diverging as the timeline moves forward. For now they would be played back on digital photo frames / dvd though I am open to other suggestions.
Given the nature of the project I thought I would ask for some input on the following issues:
1. For photos that need to be scanned can someone suggest an appropriate resolution. I was thinking the final projects would be similar to high definition TV. The scans might need to be at a different resolution though for use in other undetermined projects.
2. Some files such as photos on smartphones can be sent by e-mail but I was thinking of using an online area for scanned files to be uploaded to. In the old days I would have set up a public folder in MobileMe and sent them an appropriate link. What's the best alternative? SkyDrive?
Obviously the users will be using multiple platforms and probably have varying degrees of familiarity with tech. Thoughts anyone?
