I am a fan...
I have found Photomyne to be a very positive experience... My Mother did an excellent job of organizing decades of pictures... She left us two hampers of binders... 20+ binders of pictures in acid free sleeves... 500+ photos per album... 10,000+ pictures in total... Photomyne's technology allows me to scan a page of pictures with one 'snap' of the iPhone - sometimes as many as 8 photos on a page with a single 'snap'... I can scan an album in roughly 30 minutes... Alternatively I could tediously take each picture out of the album, flat bed scan it, then return the picture to the album... The Photomyne app saves literally hours/days of time... After scanning the album, I use the web-based Photomyne platform to clean up the scans... adjusting borders... occasional picture orientation... adding titles and dates... this step takes the most time of the whole process... I love the ability to then upload the album to my Apple platform Photos app - I can then archive and backup these pictures on my devices... Not that I don't appreciate Photomyne, I don't want to pay storage fees in perpetuity... Are the Photomyne scans as good as a flat bed scanner? Not always... Is scanning with Photomyne immensely faster than flat bed scanning? Absolutely... I find the trade off of reasonable quality in a reasonable amount of time more than acceptable...
