I like anything vintage and antique. On our recent trip back home to Pinas, Hubby showed me his album while studying at the Philippine Military Academy. Oh he looked so dashing in his shaved head and formal uniform, i smuggled the entire album here. Of course, the most perfect way of getting a soft copy of these pic is through a scanner. I will share you then two tips on buying one so you can preserve even those brown studio pics of your great grand parents.
1. Make a resolution. Resolution is one of the most crucial specifications to consider when buying a scanner, but things are not always as they seem. A scanner's resolution is the fineness of detail that it can achieve, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The greater the dpi, the greater the detail in your scans.
2. Be a native. Manufacturers often quote two different types of resolution: native and interpolated. Native is effectively the hardware resolution, while interpolated takes into account the effects of software, which can help to blow up a scanned image, but doesn't add extra detail. Most experts recommend sticking to the hardware-only figure.
