Scan vs Photo - Create Digital Images of Your Paintings

Описание: A Comparison between scanning and photographing your work, also showing you how to prepare the files for printings, social media and blogging.

A full run through my equipment for both scanning and photographing:

Epson GT15000 A3 Flatbed scanner

Canon Rebel EOS 450 I believe. About 10 years old or more, still working great. Still a camera worth buying if you're on a budget.

Photoshop CS6
Other programs will allow a lot of what I'm doing. A free programme which does pretty much everything Photoshop is called GIMP.

A tripod for the camera. I've managed without a tripod before though, set the camera on anything steady and use the timer.

Studio lights are a great help if you're not dealing with bright sunshine. Cheap sets from £30-£40 available on Amazon. Well worth the investment and they pack away small.

I've also used my daylight lamp to photograph. You can see it at the following link: https://www.cassart.co.uk/painting/ac...
