Title: help! taking a photo of a photo
Post by: Pete on November 09, 2006, 16:28:53 PM
I got a tricky problem, Ive got a really old photo to touch up but its been glued to the glass in the frame so when I try to scan it its slightly out of focus.

I tried taking the scanner apart so I could take the scanner glass out but its glued in and its got a calibration strip bit on the end. It possibly wont work anymore now :D


Anyways, how can I get enough light on the photo without getting reflections?

I got lightbulbs and white cold cathodes to work with. The flash is pretty useless.

A tripod and daylight would be the best IMO.
