Release Notes

2023-07-24

The recent updates to PhotoScan focus on streamlining the post-capture workflow by allowing edge-based dragging for more flexible cropping and ensuring all scans are instantly saved to local storage. These refinements provide users with better manual control over the digitization process and improve the speed at which physical photos are converted into high-quality, glare-free digital assets.

Enhanced Edge Editing

The latest version introduces an improved corner editor where users can now drag the edges of the cropping frame, not just the corners, providing much higher precision when adjusting automatic crops for irregular photo shapes.

Instant Device Saving

Scanned photos are now automatically saved to the device's local gallery immediately upon capture, ensuring that digitized memories are accessible offline and ready for instant sharing without waiting for cloud sync.

Glare-Free Step-by-Step Flow

Uses a sophisticated multi-shot capture process to eliminate glare from glossy prints, allowing users to digitize old photos under any lighting condition without the need for specialized scanning hardware.

Automated Perspective Correction

The app identifies the edges of printed photos and automatically corrects perspective and distortion, resulting in perfectly rectangular scans even if the original shot was taken at an angle.

Smart Rotation and Orientation

Includes intelligent rotation logic that keeps photos right-side-up automatically, which streamlines the process of scanning large albums where photos may be oriented in various directions.
