Good to know
- Corner detection looks for a page that stands out from its background. On low-contrast photos it selects the whole image, so place the corners yourself.
- Scan corrects the perspective, so a tilted page comes out flat and rectangular.
- Black & white works best for plain text. Choose Color for receipts with logos or stamps.
- Editing runs on your PC, and the original photo is never changed.
