A light pad helps you scan slides and negatives more easily. Instead of holding your slides or negatives in the air, you can place them flat on the light pad and focus only on holding your phone.
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.
- More stable.
