An image scanner—often abbreviated as just a scanner—is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object and converts it to a digital image. Commonly used in offices are variations of the desktop flatbed scanner where the document is placed on a glass window for scanning. I have the Epson V550. With a dpi resolution upwards of 6400, I can ensure that your images and or documents will both be sharp and vivid. Before the process of scanning even begins, I ensure that the images are handled carefully and that the image itself is free of any crud. After the initial inspection, the scan begins and the image is now converted digitally. The process is more complex; however, I now have a copy of the image for simplicity’s sake. From there processed using modern photo software to breathe new life into the document. Whether just simple color correction to restoration. Finally, the image is saved and now can be shared digitally or stored on a variety of media including thumb drives and discs.

Asides from scanning your photos I have a deep connection to revitalizing history. To me, photos are moments in time that of which we can’t get back and have captured history. Whether small moments candidly captured in a family’s backyard, skylines of cities now altered from the progression of time to your favorite vacation spot. How did these places look fifty years ago? So gathering old photos, scanning those, and sharing those moments is imperative to me as they give us that moment of reflection to look back.

If you have any more questions in regards to scanning or have forgotten photos please feel free to contact me.
