Digitizing photos - what you need to consider

Nowadays, a photo is taken in almost every situation. By now, you usually use a smartphone or a digital camera. If you also want to digitize older photos so that you can save them to a hard drive or edit them, this is possible in several ways.

This is how you digitize your photos

If you want to digitize your old photos, you have several options to choose from. You can then edit and save the images.

1. One way to digitize photos is to use a scanner. Keep in mind that the quality of the photos afterwards depends on the model you choose. The scanner also allows you to scan several photos at once and then separate them on the PC. There are already special flatbed scanners that are particularly suitable for photos.
2. A digital camera can also help you digitize the photos. For this, you only need to photograph the photos. Make sure that they are flat on a smooth surface. Also, the lighting is important for the quality of the photos.
3. Depending on how ultimately the quality of the photos is, you can then post-process them. Here, a program such as Photoshop is particularly suitable. About "Image" > "Corrections" > "Hue/Saturation" or "Color Balance" you can perform manual color corrections. Auch Kratzer und Flecken beheben Sie mit dem Reparatur-Pinsel-Tool ganz schnell.
4. Alternativ bieten viele Dienstleister online oder in Fotogeschäften an, Ihre Fotos nachträglich zu digitalisieren. Mit welchen Kosten dies verbunden ist, hängt vom Dienstleister ab.
