The scanner that I have which is now over ten years old and still does an excellent job. In addition to photos and documents, it has slide and film adapters with a light that comes on in the lid. It has always done a much better job than taking pictures with a digital camera or phone to reproduce photos.>>> What brand is your scanner.

It is a Canoscan 8400F. Most of my other scanners have been in Epson multifunction printers. Even thought they are newer, they are not quite as good in my opinion. This one is actually from over 15 years ago which is ancient in electronics time.
