Hi all,

I'm running remote desktop to shoot photos remotely.

My smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S9+, is connected to Ubuntu 20.04 desktop PC via an USB cable. It will charge the smartphone during capturing simultaneously.

I just remote-control the smartphone on Ubuntu 20.04 display and keyboard.  After capturing, the digital file is immediately download to PC without saving on the smartphone.

This arrangement is very efficient without creating un-necessary motion to the smartphone during capturing because I don't need touching the screen of the smartphone.

Regards

Not only you are using day light instead of an artificial controlled light, but 1 corner is not leveled  

   

I won't speak about changing your mind so often, but in my opinion, if you had taken 1 way to do it and did stick to it from the beginning, you would have finished to scan them all and may be already post processed individually (no bulk processing) a part of them as you already got some good tips from your first post, this set up was already proposed weeks ago, I just hope you won't change again...

Thanks for your advice and comment.  Sorry for about that.

This is my first time converting about 1,000 photos to digital files.  I don't expect going the wrong way, investigating all routes suitable for my application.

I need to care their future use, storage etc.  If selecting a wrong way, to do the second time would take a lengthy time.

Furthermore I can use LED light illumination. I'll test it again to check the quality of the output image

Put a light diffuser in front of the led, as it might be too harsh depending the power of your led, a simple white paper like an A4 or US letter paper for printer and some tape can do the job without investing money and if not enough, put 2 layers of papers with a centimeter in between

Thanks.

In alternative I can use my Samsung Galaxy Tablet as light source.

In the past when I scanned film negatives with Samsung Galaxy Tablet as light box, it never made me disappointed

Probably a good decision. In 20 years of using Gimp I have never had the need to use the Gimp batch command line and the horrible script-fu language.

ImageMagick / XnView / more recently BIMP are the way I go.
