Re: Drawing Scanning Tips?

Mr. Day,

I see, very interesting. I need them to be as high resolution as possible in my case: and because scanning on glass is really not meant for more than one 'larger' page at a time I will always get stretching and fuzziness on the side with the binding of the magazine. The only way I see around it is pulling the staples out and just scanning the page without the rest of the magazine bound to it to mitigate that, or cutting the two pages apart so they can be scanned on the glass scanner individually and at the greatest resolution and quality I can muster from the scanner itself. then of course, putting them together in photoshop.

not too keen to destroy the magazine issue, but if it must be done, it must be done I suppose. I'd also agree that much of this editing and scanning is not extremely difficult, just requires patience and diligence, and of course practice.

Personally do you prefer to scan as a .pdf or a .jpeg? From past experience I have found .pdf is much better for doing scans in B&W, such as drawings or text, as well as using 8bit color or such to boot, makes editing easier to not have a who load of colors, but im sure you would want that if you are scanning original drawings or documents to preserve the 'old feel' of them in a publication.
