    Hi girls!

    so, yesterday on Christa's chat, we talked about apps to scan photos...old/heritage ones or new ones, specially to add to our scrapbooking pages and projects.
    can you point me again to those apps' names, I couldn't take notes of the suggestions, I was on my phone while talking on the chat and it's a bit confusing to do this!! thanks a lot!

    I bet @cfile will remember. :) Can't wait to get the info too because I was Uber-ing to the airport and missed the chat yesterday. Sounds like a fun one, as usual!

    It was a very cool chat! and the talking about the apps was good too, but I was talking about another subject at the same time as well, things got confusing as I was on my phone! LOL!!

    It was a great chat, Christa! Yes, that's the app I have and I love it! I told a few of you that I would show you some of the scans I've done. You can do a scan and save it right to your picture file on your phone, and there's usually a bit of editing to do. You can edit right on the app, but I like to get it in PS so I can really see it. Here are two layouts where i used scans of old photographs. The photograph of my grandma is actually a copy of the original (old) photograph.

    This picture of my grandson is 22 years old and it scanned beautifully, too.

    Christa, @cfile it actually isn't free. It's only free for the trial period (that's where they get you). It's $36 a year, but I'm going to keep it. I can scan things wherever I am.

    Thanks, Ferdy and Christa! I don't know if there's an Android version. I'm having connection problems today - it keeps kicking me off. I'm going to upload a screenshot of the exact app I got. BRB

    You're so welcome, Ferdy! When our wifi acts up, it just brings me to a grinding halt. Everything I do is dependent on it. I was even trying to connect my laptop with my phone hot spot, but it won't move big files around very well. I really really like the quality of it. I just uploaded a page where I used a scan from that app of an old picture of my hubby. I'm amazed at the quality!

    I missed the chat yesterday.
    I'm on Android and have happily used camscanner for years. Also, Google photoscanner. CamScanner was a couple bucks when I bought it, google photoscanner is free.
