Step 2 In the scanning settings, choose the resolution parameters. For large images it will be 600 dpi, and for group photographs you can use up to 900-1200 dpi. Optionally, you can choose the predefined settings for photographs in the scanning software. In addition, if it will be a black and white photograph then you can choose to scan in grayscale, while if it will be in color then leave the scan in color.

Step 3. you can start the process of preparing the photo, then save it in JPG format and send them through our ordering system!
