Fiona Peart had an article in LP March 2011 about using computers to copy artwork. I do this from time to time but scan the originals whereas Fiona was talking about photographing the original work. Some of my scans are just not right - colours nothing like the original work and when it comes to printing the results are even worse. The problem is that some are quite acceptable and I wondered if my original colours could be the problem. I have written to LP asking if it is possible to have another article on the subject. Meanwhile, what is the wisdom within the Forum?
