Start with a Scan shows you how to start with a scan of almost anything - a clip art engraving, a lackluster photo, a household object - and turn it into an original, high-quality piece of art. The second edition of this best-selling book includes all new art on every page plus two new chapters: "Using Scans in Arts and Crafts" and "Scanning for the Web." With this book in hand you'll be able to browse through hundreds of full-color illustrations for ideas you can use and follow clear, step-by-step instructions to get the results you want. - Publisher |
