What's new: scan help that actually helps, and batch scanning you can trust

The 2.2.4 update ends the 'rescan first' dead-end with reason-specific guidance, lets you restore anyway when a rescan won't help, and adds a per-shot quality check so a batch never hides a soft scan. Here is what changed.

Scan help that tells you what to actually do

Before, if you scanned a print on a busy tabletop, the app could keep saying 'rescan first', and scanning the same cluttered scene again just produced the same verdict. A loop with no way out.

Now Photo Insight names the real reason a photo needs work and gives advice that matches it. Glare, blur, a curl, or a too-dark frame? A quick retake genuinely helps, so that is what we suggest. A busy background the detector can't read? Rescanning won't fix that, so we point you to a plain surface or a quick crop instead of asking you to scan again.

'Restore anyway' is always one tap away

Even when we recommend a better scan, you are in charge. Every recommendation now carries a clear 'Restore anyway' escape, right on the Photo Insight card, so a suggestion is never a wall. Crop a photo and it clears the geometry warning it resolved, too. The guidance keeps up with what you have already fixed.

Batch scanning you can trust

Ripping through a stack is fast, but speed shouldn't hide a soft frame. Each shot in a batch now gets a quiet quality check after the shutter, and the review screen tells you up front when a few may need a better scan, so you catch them before you commit the whole stack, not after you've spent a restore. When the camera is refocusing for a sharper shot, it says so instead of stalling silently.
