Patent ID: 7516895

Claim:
A method for processing a photograph, comprising the steps of: pairing the photograph with an identifier; scanning the identifier a first time using a first scanner device and generating a first database; scanning a picture side of the photograph using the first scanner device to capture an image of the picture side and associating the identifier with the image of the picture side for storage within the first database; scanning the identifier a second time using a second scanner device and generating a second database; scanning a back side of the photograph using the second scanner device to capture an image of the back side and associating the identifier with the image of the back side for storage within the second database; merging the image of the picture side from the first database and the image of the back side from the second database by matching the identifier associated with the picture side and back side, creating a single image containing the image of the picture side and the image of the back side of the photograph.
