Photomyne digitises physical photographs using a phone camera. Point it at an album page and it detects each print separately, crops them, corrects the perspective from the angle you were holding the phone at, and files them as individual images. It handles slides and negatives too, through companion apps in the same suite.
Batch detection is what makes it practical rather than tedious. A flatbed scanner handles one photograph at a time and a shoebox holds hundreds; capturing a whole album page at once is the difference between a job that gets finished and one that gets abandoned. Restoration follows: sharpening, colour restoration and black-and-white colourisation, with albums annotated by text, audio, date and location.
Photomyne Ltd has been at this since 2015. It costs $59.99 a year after a three-day trial, is mobile-first with the web used mainly for viewing and editing, and spreads its features across several separate apps rather than one. Colourisation invents plausible colour rather than recovering the original, and phone-camera capture will not match a scanner on a photograph that genuinely matters.
