Now I am going share information about Google "PhotoScan"

Google PhotoScan is a new app to help people digitize their old printed photos, which might be a part of old photo albums or hanging on the walls in their homes. Google’s new app will let users scan their old printed photos, and convert them into a digital print. Google’s blog post explains their reason for launching the app: “We all have those old albums and boxes of photos, but we don’t take the time to digitize them because it’s just too hard to get it right.”

PhotoScan does produce some ostensibly good-looking results... as long as you view them on your phone's screen and don't actually zoom in on them. Once you decide to sift through your newly digitalized album on your PC, PhotoScan's limitations become painfully apparent. For all the smart new features it boasts, and for priding itself as a “photo scanner from the future” that creates “enhanced” digital scans, Google's new app produces some very coarse, scaled down, visibly compressed results that are simply inadequate for the purpose of archiving images.

Google Photos is a home for all your photos and videos, but what about those old prints that are some of your most treasured memories? Such as photos of grandma when she was young, your childhood pet, and that hairstyle you wish you could forget.

We all have those old albums and boxes of photos, but we don’t take the time to digitize them because it’s just too hard to get it right. We don’t want to mail away our original copy, buying a scanner is costly and time consuming, and if you try to take a photo of a photo, you end up with crooked edges and glare.

Google recently launched a curious new app, called PhotoScan, that allows you to easily digitize your old printed photos by just pointing your phone's camera at them for a few moments and letting the app do its automated magic. PhotoScan is a smart tool, no questions asked, boasting such features as automatic edge detection, perspective correction, smart rotation, and about the most clever glare reduction technique we've ever seen in a mobile app. We wouldn't be surprised if you wowed a little inside the first time you scan an old print and see it perfectly cropped and straightened on your phone's screen, as though it isn't just a picture of a picture but a photo you took just now.
