What type of businesses would I look for that scans artwork (large canvases, small, medium, etc.)...?
I'm having difficulty photographing the artwork (lighting, lining-up the canvases, camera exposure settings, etc.)... so I heard that getting them scanned is an option. I don't know the first place to look. What kind of business would I look for that scans large photographs? I don't even need them printed, just scanned on to a disk so they can be uploaded to a website. I live in Los Angeles BTW. BTW, when I mean "big", I'm talking canvases that are like 50 X 40, and my biggest one I have is 9 feet by 5 feet. |

a place like FedEx kinkos can do it, but when i took mine in there to have it copied [it was 16x20 canvas stapled to wood frame] they asked me to remove it from the wood frame because it would be going through a rolling process, a rolling scanner or something. i'm definately not from LA but i figured that might give you an idea of where to start looking

I live in Albuquerque NM and have taken art to a lithographic reproduction studio for large format prints. They have scanners to duplicate art for sign companies and blueprints that the typical scanner for home use could not do.

Hire a photographer if you are having problems.
But one solution is to take pictures on a cloudy day and work them in a picture fixing program like picassa. Look at my work in last five years it was taken with a digital camera on a cloudy day. http://www.piotrart.com |
