The root of the Q is I am working with a few painters who want to make Glace prints of their work, (talking medium quantities of 20-50 probably) which means, 1) looking for comments as to the quality of photos to take and any suggestions as to camera's, I figure better then just point/shot, hoping not to need $1000/plus type. I hope direct to digital rather then film and scan. 2) Any comments about how to light &/or stage etc. 3) Most are too big to scan if that is even an option, maybe a local service can do that 4) Suggestions as to places to have do the printing Also, would consider any offers from photographers or someone/service with large bed scanners. Any other ideas welcome. -- Rich Roth CEO On-the-net Bringing you complex online systems since the net was young http://www.tnrglobal.com - Blog: http://www.rizbang.com Helping move the world: http://www.earththrives.com
