Description
I already did this tutorial a while ago (but forgot to finish and upload it).
Here's a little overview about the basics how I scan my pictures. There are of course different ways how to scan a picture properly, but this way always worked out nicely for me.
Scanner: Canon CanoScan 4400F
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3
Artwork: Traditional colored picture (markers, pencils)
Click "Download" in the menu to see the full size picture (I hope the font is still readable).

This tutorial is great! I never knew about that, no wonder my drawings always turned out so ugly after scanning. I never edit them.

Nice tips. I guess details change with equipment you use, but it will help me to better prepare my scans.

i have a quick question do u need that type of scanner or does it work with all scanners....and were would you get an image editing program...i apologize for my misunderstanding but i just wanted to get clarified! This is however very useful!

You can use any scanner.
There are affordable (good) image editing programs like SAI, Art Rage, Open Canvas or GIMP. I personally use Adobe Photoshop, unfortunately it's one of the most expensive ones...

O.o Den Modus wΓΌrd ich aber erst kurz vorm Drucken in Cmyk konvertieren, sonst gehen dir da aufgrund des kleineren Farbraums massig Tonwerte verloren, die du auch beim RΓΌckkonvertieren in RGB nicht wiederherstellen kannst - die sind weg.
Aber ich mein, das ist mit Sicherheit deine Sache und ich will dir da nicht reinquatschen. Soll wirklich nur ne Anmerkung sein, bitte nicht bΓΆse auffassen

Some of my friends have problems with scanners, so now I know where to send them
Myself anyway has got some questions:
* You says a 600dpi should be good enough. Is there a resolution above what the scanning brings more problems than solutions?
* Deciding what areas should be white/black is (yet) quite easy. What about grays? I'm always not sure where to put gray pointer

thats what I ususally do, but I change lights and shades more than the color filters. I have got an average with opacity, they dont look bad after all X3
