Learning How To Digitize Photos

By Merle Nixon


In today's day in age thanks to the advancement of media and technology you can take pictures on the go in many different ways with many different devices. When taking pictures you can actually digitize photos for future uses as an extra copy.

When you make a digital copy of your image it works just like keep a spare tire for you car. The method of doing this is not hard at all and can be done be anyone with a little time and patience on their hands. The required materials for this will have to be a laptop or computer and a scanner. The scanner is what actually copies and registers the picture to your computer so choosing a decent scanner with a reasonable price is a good investment if you want stunning photo output.

When you begin you must first turn on your computer or laptop and check to make sure that scanner is on and plugged in correctly to your device of choice. When this is done you can then get your photos and organize them by name, date or however you see fit. This will save you a lot of time when you begin the initial scanning so that everything wont be cluttered and out of order.

After you have organized your pictures you can then open up your scanning software from your computer if did not already install it. Before you begin scanning you can create specific folder groups for the images so that they can be further organized. Now you are ready to take you first image and scan it. You will need to lift the lid on the scanner and place your image face down.

You can now lower the lid to the scanner and begin the scanning process from the device itself or the CPU. When the file is complete you can save the file and go to the next image and so on until all of them are complete.

You may find that the software will let you view your pictures before actually saving them. When saving, you should choose a file name that you can remember well and save it as a 'TIF' image. These types of pictures tend to be large on your hard drive but this is because the program will allow you to add effects and edit your photos later in the best quality.

After complete your last image you can either leave them on your computer or print them out and share with your friends and family.
