A Photo of a Photo is Better than No Photo at All

What if you visited a relative and saw a photo like this in a frame...but the person wouldn't ever let you take it for a spin in your scanner? Yeah, a camera will work in a pinch! Just make sure it's set to take high quality pictures (large files). Most phones have good cameras in them, but many people have the settings adjusted to take lower resolution images (small files) for use on the web. Grab that photo even if it's not perfect. It's the best you can do. So now you have a photo of a print of a photo--but hey, it's all you've got. These days photo editing software can help fix uneven lighting and focus, and you might be surprised at the results. Hey, the photo below is better than having no photo at all!!!
