Let's Make a Movie Using Childhood Photos ♩
Childhood photos that you'll need to create a profile movie.
Every photo taken by family from the day you were born until now is a treasure ♡
I want to use a lot of nostalgic or slightly embarrassing photos to create an emotional growth movie ♩
How to Digitize Childhood Photos?
By the way,
Unlike the photos taken recently with smartphones or digital cameras, childhood photos need to be "digitized".
Most photos from 20 or 30 years ago are printed on paper rather than saved as digital files like today. Therefore, when creating a video, you must scan each photo individually and then transfer them to your computer.
There are two main methods for scanning old photos:
☑ Use your home printer to scan
☑ Use a convenience store copy machine to scan
Either way, using the printer to scan can be quite tedious since you have to place each photo into the scanner manually…!
If you use the convenience store copy machine, it also costs about 30 yen per photo.
Is there a better way to do this?

The process is really simple ♡
Let's simulate digitizing by taking a photo of a notepad as an example*
After launching PhotoScan, first, take a picture of the photo according to the screen's instructions,
then just move your camera according to the markings*
It only takes about 5 seconds! The cover of the notepad was digitized in no time ♡
You might wonder, "What's the difference from the smartphone camera app?" But PhotoScan automatically detects and removes glare!
Isn't it amazing that paper photos that used to shine and couldn't be taken properly can be digitized so beautifully?
