Cleaning Digital Photos of Drawings

One of the big hits from the IFVP 2006 Conference was the Tech Session. There was quite a buzz about the Photoshop demonstration on "cleaning" photos of graphic recording artwork.

I have been using a macro I picked up, which is working well, especially when I am in a hurry. I sometimes find it is not flexible enough, where these steps will give a little more flexibility for creating clean sharp images. Thanks.

To clean drawings I've been using Whiteboard Photo by Pixid (http://www.polyvision.com/products/wbp_reviews.asp) I think it cost us about $100. Basically you load a photo, crop as needed and then "clean." It's fabulous for line work on white paper. If there are fields of color, such as large swatches of chalk shading or colored cards on a purple sticky wall, stay with Photoshop.
