PhotoScan by Google - Photos from the past, meet scanner from the future

@dflieb Does this let you assign date and location to the scan?

@narendra @dflieb You can edit the date/time once uploaded to Google Photos

@dflieb this is great to back up old prints. But the bigger issue is digital photos are stuck and essentially any app is a graveyard. Does googlephotos have integrations to make printed scrap books. I dont want my 3yo staring at a computer screen. And honestly neither do i!

@dflieb Really spectacular job. My wife will be all over this once the holidays are over.

@ak310i Images on Google Photos can be uploaded to Google Drive in the app. Many photobook services allow photos to be uploaded via Google Drive.

@nikunj @dflieb Classic Google. Probably a different team working on each app.

@nikunj We think that scanning photos isn't something you'll do daily -- it's more like something you'll do a handful of times when you get access to the printed photos. So it didn't make much sense to incorporate directly into Google Photos. Plus, this lets us offer PhotoScan to people who aren't yet using Google Photos.

@nikunj @dflieb probably because you don't need it nearly as often as a regular photos app.

@nikunj We'll do separate apps if/when it makes sense, but no specific plans atm.

@dubstrike @nikunj Nope, it's us :)

@wagca "The Unfade team welcomes you here on Product Hunt for only $4.99" and that's a really big difference for a lot of people

@icyber0n PH is probably not the right forum for a pricing discussion. Shoot me a DM on Twitter, I am always happy to discuss this topic.

@wagca Tried PhotoScan now and really disappointed with output quality, and from reading a few other reviews I'm not the only one (on iOS the native camera app takes much crisper photos of photos, glare be damned). Have you compared Unfade quality with PhotoScan, how do you guys compare?

@tombielecki Dust and scratches are definitely things we're studying.

@dflieb Last week I was scanning photos and trying to recover them in Photoshop. The "Dust & Scratches" tool worked surprisingly well. The other major step was removing fading.

@tombielecki I like to use Office Lens for documents and whiteboard: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

@dflieb @tombielecki This would be amazing, look into reading the IR channel :)!

@airlikidh2 @tombielecki Or CamScanner -- One of the original whiteboard scanning apps and it's awesome!

@iamsebj It all works offline. Why? Well, when you go home to grandma's and want to scan all those old photos, what are the chances the internet is blazing? :)

@dflieb Awesome. Makes sense, just had to check, thanks! :)

@dflieb is there any other privacy or data capturing info to be aware of?

@sammycdubs We're focused on photos but it works pretty well on any rectangular image

@dflieb How does the image processing handle height? (e.g. Photo with curled edges)

@sammycdubs We haven't invested too much in severely curled edges, but I think there are things we can do.

@sammycdubs Scanbot it's the only one that I still have installed after iPhones and years have passed, dont use it that much though

@heymarimon They released it for iPhone and Android haha

@joshdance It's rolling out now on both app stores
