Using iPhone 11 to scan documents.

[Tomos]

Good day to all.
Decided to save some documents by using the scan method on iPhone.
I went to use the notes app to scan the specific documents,looked okay on the phone screen.
But on looking at the scans on the Notes app on the MacBook.The documents looks very faint,but on the iPhone looks okay.
Anyone had similar issues like mine.
I have the iPhone and ma fully updated to the latest update.
Many thanks.
David.

Hi David

I think the problem is that what is seen on the iPhone it fills the screen and looks good, but when viewed on the Mac, it fills a relatively smaller space and if you magnify it, you lose detail and maybe colour.

I am no expert on this, but what I do when I want something I can read very clearly on the Mac is to use the "Scan Text" option.

Now, obviously, this has its limitations particularly if it's a full A4 page or if there are multiple pages; but the definition is vastly better. Crystal clear on the Mac

I doubt that helps you much, David, but it's a start and more expert opinion should follow soon.

Thanks Ian for your reply.

Been on google and found that using the file app to scan a document is better than the notes app.
Have tried it and yes its better.
Thanks once again very much Appreciated.
