Nastassja Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I need to scan a photo for a memorial service. The photo is pretty decent quality. It's 11x7" in the photobook. I've done a quick scan on the office scanner and it came out not too bad, although there is now noise that's not in the original. Should I stay on 300dpi? I would also need to fix the glare on his glasses. I'm attaching a photo of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nastassja Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yes I did. Do I proceed with the Raw process as usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I'm confused. Did you find a better scanner to scan it? Or did you take a raw photo of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
