A family wants me to scan in and then make a slideshow of their grandparents pictures they have in a tub. How much should I charge. I can make good slideshows but it is a pain to scan alot of picturs. How much should I charge?

I know it is not wake related but it will help pay for gas money this summer.

no. You're time is worth something. It's worth a lot. You have a skill they don't and you're doing more than just scanning. You're creatively putting a slideshow together. How many pictures? How much time are you going to spend on it? How well do you know these people?

it will be a very large slide show(all of their grandparents pics from their lifetime.)

We are not very close with this family, we see them maybe once or twice a year.

thanks guys.

Once you get all of the picts on your computer put them on an SD memory card and put it in a Nintendo Wii. It automatically creates a slideshow with some generic music that plays on the T.V. Kinda cool an easy.

How many pics? I would say $200 sounds pretty fair to me, but it really depends I think on how many images, will you need to retouch any?

I would charge an hourly rate that you and they are comfortable with
