I love your polaroids! :)
It seems your scans have a lot of texture of the polaroid it self. If I scan mine, the texture of the white border (witch I love) seems to fade away.. Do you edit them in photoshop? or is it just my scanner? :) Hope you can help! Thanks!

Greetings, Alissa

Hi Alissa,

It’s probably your scanner. I auto level using Photoshop but that doesn’t really do anything to the border. You could try and play with your resolution (I scan at 300dpi) and that may solve your problem. My scanner’s not the best in the world (a Canon MP480) but it gets the job done. So it may just be your settings. Good luck!

Justin
