Tips for Scanning Photos

What's the best way to clean a flatbed scanner's platen? A lint-free cloth and some water. That's just one simple but extremely useful tip from Gretchen Siegchrist, whose video Tips for Scanning Photos adds plenty more assistance to help ensure that whatever you scan looks its best when it's converted to digital form. Another handy tip: Wipe photos down with an anti-static cloth from your local photo store; this will keep stray hairs and dust from being attracted to the photos you're scanning. Great work and thanks, Gretchen!
