Hi Guys,
(This question may sound stupid)......
I'm currently in the process of scanning and uploading the docs. when I scan the docs normally, with the brightness and contrast kept at default (0 adjustments), the resulting pics aren't clear. they somewhat look like black and white docs.

Obviously when I increase the contrast while scanning the colours are prominent and clear. My worry is will it be a problem if I increase the contrast and scan the docs; will the VISA officer consider it as tampering or altering the docs?

Further, has anyone used Camscanner via the phone? is it acceptable?

The scan should be clear and color (not black and white). It doesnt matter which application or device you use for scanning. Further, increasing the contrast is not tempering with the document contents provided everything is clear. Make sure it doesnt look like a tempered doc. Good luck

The kind of tampering you are talking about is mostly not allowed with the digital photo you submit, but it's fine when comes to other pdf docs.

All docs need not be in color - CIC only insists the PCC be in color - of course if you are within the 4MB limit with color scanning then its perfectly ok
