Scanning as a lost art

With the increasing pressure for newspapers to dazzle and draw in readers using design, page designers should start thinking outside of the box.

This article brings up a great idea that many graphic editors do not consider: scanning.

Scanning can capture the true textures and colors of an object that a camera cannot. Plus, it's easy.

When scanning using Adobe Photoshop simply click file – import – and then pick you scanner. A preview window will pop up showing your previous scan. Make sure to preview your object before you scan, in case you need to make any adjustments. Then press scan, save your picture, and you are done. No captions needed.
