Photo scanners convert photographs and graphic prints into digital images. They consist of a flatbed feed with a glass cover, and a light source that scans and converts visual data. They have higher resolutions than standard scanners, which allows them to accurately reproduce details from the original photo. They connect to computers through the USB port or other interface. Most models can be set to scan in color or monochrome.
Standard photo scanners are used for scanning printed photographs. They come in standard flatbed forms similar to regular scanners. They have average resolutions of 4,800 x 9,600 dpi. Some models have basic image editing features, such as red eye removal.
Combo photo scanners
Combo photo scanners have an additional feed for scanning and converting 35mm film negatives. Some models have options for removing flaws in the film, such as film grain and scratches.
Bit depth: Choose a photo scanner with a high bit depth of 36 to 48 bits to get vibrant digital images.
Resolution: Choose a photo scanner with a 300 dpi resolution or higher. Look for a higher resolution if you want to scan large-format and high-resolution photos.
