Preparing Photographic Images
To put photos on your web pages, you need to convert your print-based photos to digital images or create photos digitally by using a digital camera. You might need to use the custom software that comes with your scanner or camera to save pictures onto your hard drive, or you can just drag and drop files from your camera to your hard drive. If you are using a scanner to create digital versions of your print photos, you can control just about any scanner directly from the graphics program of your choice—see the software documentation for details.
Tip
If you don’t have a scanner or digital camera, almost all film developers offer a service that transfers photos from 35mm film to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM for a modest fee. You can then copy the files from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to your hard drive, and then use your graphics program to open and modify the image files.
