Your shoeboxes are full...break is a perfect time for this app.

By Colin Davitt
1994 - Somalia just south of Mogadishu. 

We all have tons of actual physical pictures and would love to digitize them. Have you ever taken a picture of a picture? It usually looks awful, too dark or full of glare.

This break why not download the PhotoScan app from Google and start sharing those old pictures! This is a free app that works on both Android and iOS.


Download and install the PhotoScan app.

Follow on screen prompts.

Follow the arrows.
You will move the open circle to the closed white circle. The while circle will turn blue, then follow the arrows to the next circle.

Bam! You now have an image that is digitized and ready to share! 

My next steps will be to open this in the Google Photos app and start to adjust the color a little.

    My drop box is already full for the second time. I probably need to clear out some pictures before doing this, but I love the idea!
