Yeah- I'm trying to get use to digital cause traditional art doesn't scan well for prints. If I can make my prints digital in the first place, there would be way less colour loss due to the scanning process. losing my super brights always upsets me. There's enough to go wrong in the printing process without handicapping the colour range with a light bulb and sensor measuring bounce light and turning the readings into code. It's hard enough finding a printer with a well calibrated printer TBH Sad

I try to compensate a little bit with color-adjusting on Paint Shop Pro if my colors aren't looking right, or sometimes with the larger pics get a digital photo in as much natural ambient light as possible. Doesn't always work out, but it's better than relying on the scanner to get it right.

    That's what I'm saying- you cut that all out if you go straight to digital CMYK. I don't mind so much if I wanted it to be a pencil pic and scanned it in hindsight, but 100% for a poster? I trust black and white- not colour. Not unless I specifically want a traditional coloured pic.
