The app makes you take four photos of different areas of your item, then combines all to form a sort of conglomerate FrankenPhoto with predictably uneven results. Lots of awful, electronically blotched/smeared areas which nobody has any interest in. It also utilizes the camera flash on your phone. When taking pictures of your card from 4 different places, the flash, as placed at four different positions, is going to present problems because of the minute differences in light and angles, etc. Not even a surgeon's hands are so steady that they are going to be able to take 4 different camera phone photos at the exact same heights and angles. Unless they've come up with some impressive changes, I'll never use that app again. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 04-07-2023 at 08:27 AM.

Another benefit of scans is that they show the card from directly on. I can't get over how many sellers want thousands of dollars for a card with a photo that's at a terrible angle.

I do recall that the PhotoScan app does do its best to create a straight-on image, but the results left much to be desired.

With the exception of Chris' example which is jarring each time I see it, I am 100% opposed to cell phone pics for 2D items. I will not bid on a card where the seller uses a cell pic. 99 times out of 100 they are shot on angles that distort the cards, poorly lit, there are reflections on the holders (if they are graded cards), images are usually blurry and simply do not allow me to assess a card properly for those things I would be looking for.
Besides those reasons, I am an anti cell phone guy at heart and find it to be the lazy approach to capture a card however those who do it will deem it convenient. If it was such a great way to provide images of cards then every house would do it yet all scan.

Scans
So I just bought a cheap cannon scanner (lide 400) as I have a lot of t206 dupes I am finally going to get around to selling. Lots of setting options to enhance/brighten/etc. images. Whats the best/most honest way to do it? No enhancements? Are the enhancements okay to make the picture sharper? Are any enhancements off limits, but some are okay? Its all low grade, generally, and I am too lazy and don't pay enough attention to detail to write out descriptions of flaws/condition so I will need the pictures to show the true condition. I havent seen a discussion of this before, so just wondering everyone's thoughts.
