    I wish I had learned about these apps before I tossed most of the negatives I had around. Thankfully, I still have a few.

    Very helpful! Also, if you go to a Family Search Family History Center, some of them have good scanners that will scan negatives. Free and available to all. Not all Family History Centers have these scanners.
