I love old photos, I love being sent old photos, I don't even mind when our clients describe their photos as being ancient and they turn out to be the same age as me. But recently we had some less than positive feedback from a young lady who asked us to scan some of her family heirlooms.
Some of the photos had been printed on paper with machine cut crinkled edges, some were not quite square and many had a white border. Faced with these originals our Kodak s1220 does its best, but our client didn't like the output. In some cases a small black border appears around the scan, with many the scanner trims to the paper size and leaves a white border.
Personally I can't think of how else a volume scanner can handle the inconsistencies of irregular images but we do need to educate our clients.
