Edit Polaroid Photos

Instant photos can be edited on the computer.


Polaroid photos have long been popular because they deliver an instant photo print. They are fun for family get-togethers or events where instant photos are necessary. One drawback to a Polaroid photo versus a digital photo is that you cannot transfer it to your computer instantly for editing. However, by using a scanner, Polaroid photos can be converted to digital and edited in the same way you would edit any other digital photo.


Instructions


1. Clean the glass on your scanner to make sure it is free of dust and debris. Anything on the glass of the scanner will show up in your scan.


2. Lay the photo on the bed of the scanner and close the top.


3. Scan the photo at the highest quality settings your scanner allows. If you are unsure change the quality settings on your scanner, consult the manual, as this varies from scanner to scanner.


4. Open the photo in your editing software. It can now be edited like a regular digital photo.
