If cropping is still wrong (e.g. 3-4 photos are cropped as one, or scans are distorted), look at the un-cropped photo on Originals screen. Is background visible all round? Is the photos properly spaced apart? Is the background single-color and contrasting with the photo&#8217;s edges?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-856 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"wrong cropping photos\" width=\"605\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-100x60.jpg 100w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-200x120.jpg 200w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-450x270.jpg 450w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6-900x540.jpg 900w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-6.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are doing everything right but auto-cropping is still wrong, see the following tips for &#8220;outlier&#8221; situations:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Extra! Some Bonus Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Tip #5): Don&#8217;t scan through plastic<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If your photos are in albums with plastic sleeves, consider taking them out. This will (a) make cropping more accurate (b) let you avoid glare and reflections, and (c) save your photos: these sleeves are acidic, and will ruin your photos over time. Sleeves also trap air bubbles, and traces of moisture in it will also harm the photos.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tip #6): Avoid perspective distortion<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While scanning, center the camera above the photos and hold it parallel to them &#8211; not off-center or at an angle to them. In the above illustration, the photo on the bottom right looks trapezoidal instead of rectangular, due to camera tilt. Pic Scanner and Gold both have built-in automatic perspective correction, but avoiding perspective error in the first place is better.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tip #7: Manually crop long &#8216;n narrow pics<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Photos with (Length &gt; 2.5 times width) may not be cropped correctly. Crop these manually from Originals screen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-857 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong.jpg\" alt=\"scan photos\" width=\"663\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong.jpg 700w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-100x38.jpg 100w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-150x57.jpg 150w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-200x76.jpg 200w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-450x170.jpg 450w, https:\/\/appinitio.com\/picscanner\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/right-wrong-600x227.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tip #8: Manually crop photos with sharp gradients<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The photo on the left, below, has many sharp, straight color gradients.
