I do alot of portraits from photos for people, but it seems when I scan them to add them to my website I loose so much of the shadowing and sometimes the detail. I do not know what I am doing wrong!! Anyone have any suggestions?
also check at what Rez you are scanning them at and use the programs software...put another sheet of paper behind it too as the paper might be too transluscent!
very nice rendering!
:)
Hmmm, the only think that I can say is that a photograph does not always convey the feel of the subject when transferred. Maybe you could get a software like elements and use a filter that converts a photo to a drawing or painting, with very good results I might add, then pay attention to how the computer shades and converts the photograph?
