What's more, the Doxie Scanner automatically adjusts your scans (straightening and cropping) while allowing you to adjust settings such as saturation, contrast and brightness before saving. Both [Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-3) and PC compatible, it is being sold online for $130. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Scanners:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation exists in creating even smaller, faster, and more efficient portable scanners. - **Social Media Integration:** There is potential for disruption by developing scanners that integrate with a wider range of social media platforms, enabling easy sharing and collaboration. - **Automatic Image Enhancement:** Creating portable scanners that offer advanced automatic adjustment features, such as automatic image straightening and cropping, could disrupt the market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Office Equipment:** There are opportunities for disruption within the office equipment industry by creating innovative portable scanner solutions. - **Digital Imaging:** The digital imaging industry can benefit from disruptive innovation by developing portable scanners that offer seamless integration with social media. - **Consumer Electronics:** There is potential for disruption within the consumer electronics industry by creating portable scanners with advanced image enhancement and editing capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Portable Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-scanner.md) - [Full Color 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascand-laser-scanner.md) - [Sleek Digital Film Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-n-scan.md) - [Efficient One-Click Scanning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-station.md) - [Pocket-Sized 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspire-3d-scanner.md) - [Efficient Ad-Free Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scanit.md) - [Affordable 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-3d-scanners.md) - [Autonomous High-Speed Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plustek-escan.md) - [Mailbox-Shaped Scanner Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tou.md)
