Scanning tips

• Don’t tilt your phone while scanning.
• To better frame your photo, place the photo on a flat surface with a contrasting background. Avoid scanning on carpet.
• To scan vertical photos, hold your phone vertically. To scan horizontal photos, hold your phone horizontally.
• To help remove residual glare, shadows and get better images, make sure flash is turned on.
• If there is too much glare, move to a place with less lighting.
• Remove photos from sleeves or albums. If the photo is in a glass frame, turn on your flash.
• If you have any issues with your scan, try scanning again.
