Yikes.
I think you are elected as the oracle on scanning.

Hi Les, Back in mid 1990's I used the Kodak Photo CD service.
It was quite costly to have the photos scanned, and a player was required.
I still have the CDs and they can be read by linux. I have also converted the approx 250 of .pcd files to tif. using bash script.
about 1997 I spoke to the photo shop who did the processing and was told that there was very liitle uptake and it was to be discontinued ( at least in Australia)
Here is one of Mindle Beach Darwin (maybe posted before) with probably Ricoh KR_10 and SMC Pentax 1:2 50mm

As far as I know ( because I am using unbroken linux and GPL) the following formats, many originally proprietary,
are now GPL in public domain.
.jpg, .pdf, .dng, .png, .tif, .odt, .doc, ... .xls, .ods, ... .xml, .docx, .xlsx
Until about 2 years ago, most audio and video files were not available on pure linux except for a few of the open ones like ogg.
However that has changed, for example i can now watch movies made on my Pentax K-01 ( .mov?) on linux without downloading drivers/codecs
from the owners.
Also ImageMagik can handle proprietary formats eg the old Pentax .pef

Yes,
Many, perhaps most (?) of international standards generally started out as proprietary property before becoming international standards.
For example the ubiquitous "coaxial cable" which is necessary for "everything" associated with communications these days was originally invented by employees of
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
I am sure we would find a lot like that in photography and computer storage methods too.

And you can back them onto millenniata m-discs
They are not much more costly than ordinary blank dvd.A special dvd writer is needed which is not expensive either.
My idea is to discard negs after the files are successfuly archived, but not many on this forum will agree with that!
