Scan photos on smartphone n crop it on GIMP - Stephen Liu - 05-30-2022
Just discovered the quality of photo scanned on smartphone is not bad.
Step-1
Shoot the photo on Smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S9+
Settings - Macro and optimize, no flash light
Illumination - only normal room light
Step-2
Download the file on PC and run
$ mogrify -rotate -90 photo.jpeg
Step-3
Open the photo on GIMP and crop it.
The quality of the positive photo is quite good. The scanning speed on smartphone is much faster than scanning on flatbed/desktop scanner.
This new discovery changes my way scanning photos. I won't scan photos on flatbed/desktop scanner anymore.
