Turn photos of sefer into scanned pages
« on: September 28, 2022, 01:13:32 PM »
I have a sefer that wasn't scanning nicely (due to the binding) so I took pictures instead. Is there any way to easily make the pictures look like respectable scans?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

What phone do you have? With pictures already taken your best adjustment would probably be a Straightening tool

You could try the Adobe scanning app
