[Hidden-tech] Question about Image Quality

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Dede,

This is old school stuff, but you can digitally scan with a descreening filter setting if your software offers it, and place an opaque black card behind the printed image so whatever is printed on the other side is less likely to show up in your scan. I've never done that for fine print work, but who would, under normal circumstances.

Good luck.

Best,
Kimo

In some cases I have been able to find the photographers and get images from them, but there are a few titles where I can’t.  The publisher has said to scan the images and use them! Obviously this will not be great quality. I am wondering if there is something I am missing…other than scanning. I have the books. The books have the images. The publisher does not and in some cases the photos are MIA…what would you do to get best quality for the pictures?
