Make slide scanning easier with a light pad that keeps film steady, improves focus, and speeds up scanning multiple slides at once.
Here's your how-to guide on how to use it.
Why it helps:
- Keeps your slides steady.
- Makes scanning faster and easier.
- Lets you place multiple slides at once.
How do I use the light pad for scanning?
Follow these simple steps:
- Turn on the light pad (or any backlight source).
- Place your slide or negative flat on the light pad.
- Hold your phone about 4 inches (10 cm) above the slide.
- Start scanning with the app.
What should I do if the image looks blurry?
If your scan is not sharp:
- Gently move your phone slightly forward and backward.
- Stop when the image comes into focus.
Do I have to use a light pad?
No, but it is recommended.
You can use other backlight sources (like a computer screen), but a light pad makes the process easier, faster, and more stable.
