Description
The following photos may not scan well or may be damaged when scanned.
Solution
- Photos that are not square/rectangular
- Photos that are not flat
- Photos that are curled more than 0.07" (2mm)
- Photos that are wrinkled or creased
- Photos that have edges that are peeling apart
- Photos that have interiors that are peeling apart
- Photos that have a sticky front surface
- Photos that have labels or stickers stuck to them (ones that are tightly stuck on)
- Photos that have hardened glue or adhesive on them
- Photos on photosensitive paper from instant cameras that are not sheet-film types
- Curled photos should have the curl smoothed and flattened.
- Check that the labels or stickers are tightly stuck on, and that no glue has oozed out.
