[Leica] Last thoughts on photographing art.

[Adam Bridge]

Really? I’d have avoided putting the painted surface onto the glass bed of the scanner. Are they color profiled typically?

I’ll investigate!

Thank you Larry!

Kinkos, Office Depot or Staples usually has machines which scan material up to 24" wide. I personally have a scanner which will do 14 x 17 images. The scanner holds everything flat and provides even lighting. It works on smaller paintings too. It is dead easy.
