PhotoScan by Google Photos 4+

I was told by my brother to try the scanner from google and was a little sceptical at first. But I used it and was very happy with the results on photos and documents. I found it easy to use and that I got great quality images from it.
I have now found another use for the app. I own an art gallery and even with amazing big cameras, some artwork is very hard to capture a good image of a painting. But I had a light bulb moment when I decided to try and take scans of some artworks and they turned out so well!! It works like a camera, but stitching the four images together works so well. Red paint is particularly hard to capture properly. Scanning it works beautifully!! I wish I could show the pics!
Thanks google 👍

When I first installed this app I thought it was wonderful. But now I find it keeps getting better with every update. I’ve no idea how it works but it takes new perfect copies of 99% of photos. Occasionally I have to rotate a photo or retake one. However nearly every time the photo is perfectly copied with none of the surrounds showing. There are all sorts of tools for making adjustments but I’ve never had to use them. I occasionally rotate a picture. I give this app ten stars —- five isn’t enough.

Be warned that the scanned images are fairly low resolution and compressed. They will mostly look fine on your phone or laptop, but if you zoom in or try to print them again you notice BIG problems. Things are pixelated or blocky or just look weird.

This app is fine if you want to quickly scan photos for a 21st slideshow or something, but don’t use it to preserve old memories or the images will forever be compromised.

Giving this 2 stars because google suggests it provides high quality scans, and because they absolutely should have fixed it by now. When I went searching I found this has been a known problem since it launched years ago!
