Wouldn't it be easier to arrange your lighting to not reflect back up to the camera (i.e., like a copystand)?

- alistairSH 10y agoI had the same thought. Disable the flash. Use a copystand. Or, just use a scanner (the last three personal printers I've owned double as scanner/copier).
- vomitcuddle 10y agoThis is a lot simpler and all you need is your phone. It's obviously not meant for pro/enthusiast photography or advanced users. It's a perfect way for a not-so-technologically-savvy parent to scan their old photos and put them up on Facebook.

- wtallis 10y agoCopystands that are large or have integrated lighting are quite expensive. I use a $45 smaller copy stand with a pair of $7 lights clamped to the shelf above my desk. If you have a real camera with a tripod mount, it's a very reasonable solution.
- brokenmachine 10y agoWow, they are expensive for what they are. You'd think there'd be lots of cheap ones coming out of China, but I couldn't find any with a quick search.
- BugsJustFindMe 10y agoThere are dozens of apps already on the play store that will do geometry correction for images taken at an angle. No stand required. My partner uses one for working in archives.
