What Is Photo Album Scanning?
Photo albums combine photographs, captions, handwritten notes and sometimes loose or mounted images.
Traditional albums can have fragile bindings, adhesive mounts and photographs that are beginning to detach. Page-by-page capture preserves both images and context.
Photo album digitisation
The right method depends on the physical construction, condition and purpose of the book. Non-destructive capture keeps significant originals intact; destructive capture can be appropriate for approved modern production work.
