Drawings and painting in these sizes are easy to scan at home on a desktop scanner on a scanning surface that is
8.5″ x 11″. But what do you do with the rest of your work that is not only larger than this surface, but larger than your entire scanner?
Thanks to technology and natural science illustrator, Mindy Lighthipe, there is now a short practical guide to scanning your artwork.
Scan YOUR Art is a 17-page guide in which Mindy demonstrates how to scan a 11″ x 14″ painting using nothing more than your computer, your scanner, your printer and Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.
Mindy walks you through the process carefully and includes screenshots of each step so you can follow along as you replicate each step at home.
Mindy provides “how to” information such as:
- How to create a folder for scanned images.
- How to scan an image in two parts.
- How to straighten a crooked image.
- How to crop an image.
- How to work with Layers in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.
- How to make quick color adjustments.
- How to resize an image.
- How to format a greeting card.
Mindy also provides information about printing companies and an online resource through which you can learn all the ins and outs of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.
Scan YOUR Art is available as an ebook and can be purchased for $1.99.
