[Hidden-tech] How do you take photo's to make into glace prints ?

[Noel Ramos]

Hey Rich,

If the painting itself can safely be scanned directly that's a possible  
method. Depending on their size and how critical the scans need to be,  
I have had success scanning sections and then reassembling them in  
Photoshop to re-create the larger image.
