Uploading Photos Onto A Computer Using A Scanner

By Deborah Sorenson


Scanning digital photos can be quite easy when a person knows how to do it. A scanning machine picks up the image of the particular photo or whatever else is being put into it to be scanned, and then sends it on to the computer via the USB port. This can also be done by wireless technology.

When looking at scanners and copy machines these work in a similar way except that the former can upload to a computer and by way of this will help the PC create some really great pictures with good colors. These can be done via programs that have been installed in the computer.

Before even thinking about scanning photos, the software has to be loaded on the computer that came with the scanner. If this is not done the PC will not register the device, and not have a clue as to what is trying to be done. This is necessary so that the scanner will work with the computer without any problems. It is however absolutely necessary to have a scanner that will be compatible with the PC being used.

When the photos are scanned and then printed out via the computer, they may have slight differences in quality and color to the original. The many types of inks and photo paper of various brands, plus the type of photo papers used can make a difference to the finished product.

Photo paper with a gloss will give a shiny, reflective finish, while the paper that is semi gloss is still glossy and reflective but more toned down. The paper with the matte finish can be dull and flat looking, but each one has their uses and this needs to be decided before doing the finished product.

Scanners are simply a transporter that picks up an image and passes it on to the PC, where the image, once received can have many things done to it providing the computer is loaded with the software that is needed for any of these processes. The picture can become a desktop image, it can be manipulated in various ways or uploaded onto the internet or whatever a person wants to do with it.
