Tips for Effective Photo Scanning

Scanning is one of the effective ways to store your photos for future use. The following scanning tips will guide you all through your scanning.

Adjust the scanner settings
The default values of a scanner setting menu will offer enhanced results, but for better output, you can adjust the settings of the software. In order to get perfect scanning you can adjust the various attributes like output type, sharpening, resolution, exposure and colour. For instance, the faded pictures can be restored by sharpening the scan from low to acute.

Use pre-scanning
Before the scanning process, you can edit and adjust the images accordingly. The scanner displays the rough version on the screen by passing the images. This is made possible by choosing Pre-scan or Show Preview or any other option relevant to the function. With this option, you can see if the scan is straight or free from dust and can make last minute changes and improvement before scanning.

Customize scanner button shortcuts
The user can customise the scanner shortcut menus, which allow you to handle the functions better. Many scanners come with one touch scanner shortcuts, which simplify your work. With a touch of a button, you can scan, save, reprint or copy the documents. With regard to the frequently used scan settings, customise the shortcut buttons accordingly.

Select the right resolution
Scanner resolution is normally calculated as dots per inch (dpi) and the greater the dots, sharper the image. Setting the resolution will allow you to use the images in different ways. For instance, resolution of 75-100 dpi is used for sharing through the e-mail or posting to the Web. Resolution of 300dpi is used for Printing or archiving and resolution of over 300 dpi is used for slides, negatives or prints larger than 5″ x 7″ or enlargements.

Choose the right file formats
After scanning, you can save images in different formats. Saving the files in the right formats depends upon how you use the image. However, you should remember that one can’t produce a high-quality TIFF image from a JPEG format, but can save a copy of TIFF file as a JPEG. When you are posting or e-mailing the images online, you can save it as a JPEG. Doing so, the size of the file is compressed which will reduce download times. Though the quality of the images is lost when you save it as JPEG, it is barely noticeable. Saving in TIFF format is ideal, if you are printing the image and if you are unsure of how you will save it in future. Maximum flexibility is offered as the detailing and colour information is retained.

Scan more photos at the same time
You can save time by scanning more photos at once and most scanners are capable of scanning four 4″ x 6″ photos at one stretch. All you have to do is, set up the pictures in the scanning device, but make sure to space the pictures in such a manner that a 0.25 inches (6 mm) of space is left in between.

Crop your photos
You can take the best part of the photo and crop the rest and doing so, will save hard drive space. The scanner is capable of preview, which allows scanning of the required parts, instead of scanning the whole thing. Otherwise, you can scan the complete thing and then crop size by using image editing software.

Flip photos before scan
Scan the photos according to which you will use the photos, that is, either horizontally or vertically. Once you finish your scanning, the photos can be flipped using image-editing program, but in some cases the image quality is poor.

Scanning slides and negatives
By scanning negatives and slides, you can convert them into easy-to-store digital files. Depending upon your scanning device, the number of slides and negative frames varies. With the scanning software, you can effectively remove dust, red eye, scratches and even restore faded colour. It automatically increases the colour in darker areas. After that you can directly record your photo files to the disc.

Auto correct photos-or not
Some scanners can automatically correct the pictures and restore faded colours; however, these can be corrected manually as well. You can turn picture correction on or off, select auto correct photos and then select the options you want to.

Introduce such scanning techniques when you scan and you can get perfect scanning experience.
