How to digitize an old photo for the best result
The restoration can only work with what the scan contains, so a few minutes of preparation pay off:
- Use a flatbed scanner at 600 dpi or more if you have one
- With a phone, shoot in daylight, straight above the print, without flash
- Remove the photo from glossy sleeves and frames to avoid glare
- Fill the frame with the photo and crop the table around it
- Dust the print gently with a soft brush before scanning
