Get started with Photomyne Part 3 Scanning Negatives & Slides

[@amyl5907]

how to you stop the reflection from the phone to show in your scan? I am using a light pad and a fairly dark room.

Thank you for your comment. Here are some tips to avoid glare: Light angles - Try changing the lighting angles, and possibly the location where you work. Have light sources to the left and/or right. Avoid having the light source behind or front of you, or above the photographs. ​ Time of day - Most of our users report that natural morning light works best for them. Avoid having direct sunlight on the photos you’re scanning. ​ Avoid artificial lighting if possible - bright lamp lights usually cause glare. Try using either natural light from a nearby window, or use a lamp with softer light - again, not directly projecting onto the photos you’re scanning. ​ Use a photo tent to diffuse light sources, soften shadows and reduce glares. The scanning process takes a bit of trial and error, but with a little bit of patience you’ll find the right combination that works best for you.
