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.

Does Cam to Scan run on Windows Vista?
