Handy Scanning Tips

It is super easy to digitise your photographs, and all you really need is your phone! Here are some things to consider when digitising your photo:

1. Take a photograph from directly above, and try to keep it as straight as possible.

2. Place the photograph on a plain background, where possible, or pin it up on a wall.

3. Try and avoid any glare or shadows on the photograph, as they will be visible. Where possible use natural light, and don't use your flash.

4. When sending your photograph e-mail it on - messenger apps like Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Whatsapp compress photos and reduce the image quality.
