Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
Printing the photos gains popularity even in the digital age, and it undoubtedly has many advantages. Still, if you want to reverse the process and turn an old print into digital format, Google’s PhotoScan now makes it easier than ever.
The app now makes it possible to make the photos glare-free without taking multiple images. You can take a snap of a print, and the app will remove the glare from the single photo, in one tap.
Almost all of us have photos stored in a box (or several) somewhere. We know we should be scanning them, keeping digital backups of everything, just in case. We know we should, but most of us don’t. Instead, those photos get left in boxes, and largely forgotten about, except for when that relative you haven’t seen in a decade decides to show up and reminisce.
The problem, of course, is that it’s often just so inconvenient. You’ve got to setup the scanner you’ve used twice since you bought it five years ago. Then figure out that you you’ve bought a new PC since then. Find, download and install the right drivers. Probably reboot. That’s all before the slow monotonous task of scanning actually begins. Google’s here to solve this problem with the help of your mobile phone and their new app, PhotoScan.
