New Google app turns your yellowed old photos into digital photos

Tencent News (Newsboy) believes that many families still keep old yellow photos, these photos record the beautiful moments of our past, but if you are not a careful collector, it is easy to lose them. Google now helps us solve this problem.

The Google Photos team recently launched a new application called PhotoScan. This software can convert the user's old photo prints into digital photos and save them with a single key.

PhotoScan currently has access to both the iOS and Android markets and is currently available for download. With PhotoScan, users can quickly scan a large number of photos using one interface. Of course, the advantages brought by speed will inevitably affect the quality of the pictures. Compared to traditional desktop scanners, the picture quality of PhotoScan scans is slightly worse, but it is much better than using a mobile phone to take pictures directly.

The interface of the PhotoScan application is very simple and does not even require the user to log in. The application software can open the camera directly, and the system will "guide" how you position the photo within the border. To complete the scan to the photo, you just need to move the screen and point the circle below it to the circle in the four corners of the picture.

After scanning the photos, the system also provides users with cutting, rotating and color adjustment functions. You can save it directly to Google Photos. When you need it, you can search for "scan" in Google Photos. Of course, you can also save photos to your phone album.

David Lieb, director of Google Photo Product Development, said that the goal of PhotoSnap is to persuade people to digitize their old photos before they are lost.

“These photos are at risk, especially when you are moving. They may face being burned, flooded, or even stolen. And along with the passage of time, old photos will gradually fade,” said David Lieb.

Of course, the purpose of Google's development of PhotoScan is to let more people transfer their photo library to Google Photos. At the beginning of this year, this company already had 200 million users, but it also faces fierce competition from Apple, Amazon, Facebook and other products.

In addition, Google has also recently updated its photo applications, the new version of the application has a new automatic landscaping features, and added a filter called "Look."
