Computer Uploading After Scanning Digital Photos

By Sandra Croft


Scanning digital photos for uploading onto a computer can be quite easy. Whenever a scanning machine is used this picks up an image of a photo or something else and sends it by way of the USB port to the computer, this can also be done using wireless technology.

When using a scanner it is just like using a copy machine, except that these machines can create some great colors and an image on a computer screen that can have many things done to it via different programs on the PC, especially where these have been installed.

The computer will need to be loaded with the software that comes with the machine, before photos can be scanned. The PC cannot do anything until it registers the device, because it will not have the faintest idea what is expected of it. When this is done the computer and scanner will work together without problems. Making sure that both are compatible is very important otherwise problems will arise.

The scanned photos may be slightly different to the original, and this may be in the color and quality which is printed out. These problems can occur in the different types of inks used or the various brands of photo paper. Another thing that may effect the final printout image can be the types of photo paper used.

Photo paper with a gloss will give a shiny, reflective finish, while the paper that is semi gloss is still glossy and reflective but more toned down. The paper with the matte finish can be dull and flat looking, but each one has their uses and this needs to be decided before doing the finished product.

Scanners are simply a transporter that picks up an image and passes it on to the PC, where the image, once received can have many things done to it providing the computer is loaded with the software that is needed for any of these processes. The picture can become a desktop image, it can be manipulated in various ways or uploaded onto the internet or whatever a person wants to do with it.
