1) Check your photos for dirt or marks.

2) Check the scanner glass for dust, hair, fingerprints, or smudges. Household glass cleaner can be used to clean your scanner glass, as long as you're careful to spray it directly on the cloth before wiping, not directly on the glass surface.

3) Specify the type of scan. When scanning family photos, it is usually best to scan in colour, even if the source photo is black & white. You'll have more options, and you can change a colour photo to black & white, but not the other way around.

4) Scan resolution - To assure the quality and of your photos, the optimal resolution depends on how the image that is to be printed, saved, or displayed. It is best to scan your photos at a minimum of 300dpi (Dots Per Inch) to assure quality for enhancement and restoration techniques.

5) Scan the original image. This shouldn't take too long, but could take a few minutes if you're scanning at a very high resolution.  Then get your next photo ready for scanning.

6) Save onto your pc then onto a CD or email the photo to us for a price quote.
