What a wonderful day! Today I want to share with you guys some of my excitement: I finally bought a scanner for my art! No more waiting for sunny days and hours spent on editing photos.
After some research I got Epson Perfection V19. It's just a scanner without a printer, mostly because it has much higher scanning resolutions and I don't plan printing anytime soon.
For a bigger preview, right click on an image and open in a new tab.
This is an example of the unedited photo taken on a cloudy day with artificial lighting. This is the exactly same photo that I used in the previous post.
I forgot to test how it scans a regular pencil sketch, but you can quite clearly see the pencil under sketch if you zoom in these scans. I found a lot of old fun art that I'd love to share with you guys. Art skills are actually rarely just talent, it's a lot of work and practice ;)
The scanner program has nice adjustment tools for brightness, saturation and much more. The only thing I did have to do after scanning is to compress and resize the images, because I used a bit insane quality settings... For this I used Caesium (a free program), it's so great, I don't see any real difference between the 20MB image and 5MB one. Admittedly the scanner might be a bit stronger than I need, but at least won't have to upgrade anytime soon.
I plan to make a small review once I get to know more of the functions and test it on different artworks like watercolors or color pencils.
