how to scan watercolor paintings

[@disegnintasca]

The settings are ok, but you shouldn't scan in JPEG, because it's a lossy image format which means that you will lose some details and editing capabilities. A better format would be TIFF, then you can save a JPEG copy after editing it, if you need a JPEG

Hola, Sabeis cómo puedo scannear una acuarela pero que se vea la textura del papel

[@HeartmadeDesign]

A mi normalmente se me ve la textura cuando escaneo mis acuarelas, pero supongo que dependerá del papel, el escáner y los parámetros de cada escáner...

[@MARIANELLAMORRISON]

@@HeartmadeDesign Gracias por responder. Me refiero al resto de la hoja en blanco, el dibujo si se me ve la textura, pero el area en blanco no.

[@HeartmadeDesign]

@@MARIANELLAMORRISON Lo mismo... Tienes que cambiar la configuración de tu escaner para que tenga más detalle y contraste. Luego en Photoshop también puedes editarlo.

@@HeartmadeDesign Gracias lo intentare, te aviso s i lo logro jejeje. Muy Amable!

You have to scan the watercolor once, then flip it and scan it again. Then, in photoshop, you can rotate the flipped image to match the original image, and apply a 50% Overlay blending mode on it. This will delete the paper texture, because you are canceling out the cast shadows created by the scanner light on the paper surface.

what do you think if I scan my paiting with shoting from my phone then cleaning on the photoshop ? Which is more quality?

[@HeartmadeDesign]

Sorry I just saw your question... Usually scanners have more quality than phones but with the fast growth of new technologies I can't be sure if that will change!
