Hi Rich,
I pulled some flatbed scanners apart and they are just a camera on a track with a ribbon cable. They have a lid and a light so you could call them a light box
Maybe Gimp could access security cams, dash cams, wild life cams or robo vacuum cleaners?
I noticed shots from an Android Galaxy look like garbage with Ristretto Image Viewer but look great with the Chrome browser. I think of Gimp as an image workstation that exports to something. Something that can be seen on everything - the good the bad and the ugly.
Quote:When it comes to using a phone in place of a scanner, there have been long threads even here on "how do I fix this image I took using my phone". Even with a light box / stand that you get now for a phone, results need more work than a scanner.
