Frequently asked questions

How does Cam to Scan work?

Optimising an image with Cam to Scan is done in three steps:
  • Set the outline: With a few mouse clicks you can determine what the outline of the item to be equalised will look like
  • Straighten: the item is equalised to take on its original rectangular shape
  • Adjust the brightness: this step gives you the option to brighten or darken the image.

How can I straighten an image if I don't know what size it is?

Cam to Scan can determine the size automatically. When straightening, check the format as "unknown".


How do I achieve the best results?
  • The item should be as even as possible - avoid irregularities such as "dog-ears" or paper that has curled due to moisture.
  • Make sure the lighting is as even as possible.
  • Avoid extreme distortions.
  • Photograph the item in such as way that you can see all of it (i.e. its entire outline) on the photo.
  • The item should fill the photograph as far as possible.
  • Avoid photographic errors such as blurring, underexposure, shaking or noise.
  • The photo should have a resolution of at least three megapixels.

Is there also a version of Cam to Scan for Mac OS or Linux?

The Cam to Scan package includes an installation program for Mac OS X and a platform-independent Java-based installation program, e.g. for Linux.


Does Cam to Scan run on Windows Vista?

Yes. When developing Cam to Scan compatibility with all the common operating systems was given high priority.


Can I save the photos I've edited as PDFs?
