Description Another tutorial This time on how to scan and clean up scans. My experience is that scanners hack your work, so here's some tips on restoring it, and even improving it I hope it's useful!

more tips: [link]

for PS users ~RetroSushi adds the locations of some other useful tools in photoshop:

Black and white - image>adjustments> Levels or Curves
Color - image>adjustments> color balance or hue/saturation

She adds the same info applies, but there are more sliders and the curves are a bit different.

Thank you so much! This will be very useful to me. I never knew that the scanners alter the colors, but I have noticed the the colors on the scanned version were different. Guess my brain didn't compute that the scanner might have something to do with that.. But anyways thank you again!
