What a scanner effect is made of
The effect is built from a few settings: a small page rotation, grainy noise, uneven light, an edge shadow, mild blur and a slight yellow paper tint. Each can be changed on its own.
If you'd rather not fiddle, pick a ready preset: “Office MFP”, “Color scan”, “Old copier” or “Clean”.
Choosing settings
For a tidy business look, 0.3–0.8 degrees of rotation and light noise are enough. For a visible “paper” feel, raise the noise and edge shadow. The before/after view lets you compare with the original.
