Don’t Forget to Clean the Glass

I recently put together a Video Scrapbook for a friend. He brought a huge stack of pictures over for me to scan in. I went right to work. After I had scanned and cropped all the pictures and imported them into iMovie, I noticed that several of the pictures had smudges and streaks on them. I then checked my scanner and realized that the glass was dusty. Uggggh! I guess I hadn’t used it in a while. Most of my pictures are taken with a digital camera now so I haven’t even needed my scanner.

So it was back to the drawing board for me. I had to re-scan all the pictures. Now I will always remember to check the glass on my scanner before I start a new job.
