There are 50 photos, (on photo paper, that you can hold in your hand)

, and want to transfer them to the Samsung galaxy S3 memory,

so want to do this by using the phone camera to take photos, of these photos.

What is the best way to do this, in terms of the camera position (so the photo appears to be squared up, 90 degrees,
- and the edges do NOT appear oblong/ but the edges appear 90 degrees- as perfect as they can.

-and what would be the best type of lighting, so no shiny /flashingness appears?

-eg, put the photo on the bed, not under the ceiling light, and take the photo, withthe phone directly above it?

 We know quality of the photo might be compromised.

Don't want to use a scanner, to do them individually, just with the phone.

have you done this (using your phone), what do you suggest - so it gets done quickly..
and is there an app for this?

    No no no!

    Scan them with a scanner then upload them to a usb memory stick! then transfer them on to the computer from the usb be and you can then plug your computer into the SG3 via usb cord and drag and drop the files to your phone

    You scan at staples or the library would be your best bet

    What you are attempting is not the easiest thing in the world. I had to quickly digitize some of my photos using my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 and the results were not great. If it is your only option, try for a light background, ideally in good natural light and make sure you are directly over the photo. Double check you are not casting a shadow and check each photo is clear before moving on.

    I agree with what KloudStrife said, you will get a better result using a proper scanner.
