I have a good single lens reflex camera with a macro lens. I find that I can re photograph old pictures, especially photos in other peoples albums or in glass frames, and thus have quite good record photos for putting into Legacy. With old valuable pictures take a photo of first and then take to a good photo lab and have it copied. Always take a photo of it first though as I have heard of the origional one getting lost. I do scan photos though and this is the first I have heard that this may cause damage.........
