Panelfan1 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Instead of using a scanner - Yesterday a friend showed me an app for your phone called Scanbot. It allows you to scan nice images with a single click of your camera. It also helps for minor editing. Especially handy for oversize art. Haven't had a chance to try it myself yet - wondering if anyone here has? Or if anyone is using another app that they like to recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman_Fan Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) I haven’t opened my scanner since downloading CamScanner. It works great on my iPhone and the artists I’ve shared it with were blown away. Perfect for taking “pictures” of art during a con, or scanning large art.

Do you have examples on your CAF page of what the CamScanner can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooners151 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) The feature I like is that you can square the image very easily so that you don't have to have that perfect camera angle with your cell phone. Oh and also it's free. Edited July 22, 2018 by Sooners151 John E. and Catwoman_Fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much 90% of my stuff on CAF was taken with Camscanner. Decent app if you can get the right lighting in.

Yeah, the lighting is key, so the art appears one tone. You don't want to be standing over it, casting a shadow when you take the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOStateSuperman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just downloaded and scanned a few documents at my desk - i'm impressed. Looks like it's time to redo my entire CAF gallery (it definitely needs it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeadpoolJr. Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Works pretty well for me. The only issue I found is that you have to be conscious of the light when taking the picture. I had some issues when doing a DPS but my regular pages worked out well.

Panelfan1 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Been trying out camscanner app. I use android - it creates pdfs. If there is a setting to have the images come out as jpegs - would love to know. Updated a bunch of CAF art already. With respect to the comment that lighting/shadows is tricky - I usedthe setting to have the flash/torch on. I put the art vertical on my desk, leaning to the wall and shot the pictures. A real pleasure to see the app adjust the image so it flattens out. Kohei and Catwoman_Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real pleasure to see the app adjust the image so it flattens out. I noticed that. My method was to click on share and after picking the image option just send it to myself through one of the other apps on my phone. Text or email it to yourself for example. My choice is to use discord since I can just send it to my own server on there and download it on to my computer.
