Also my digital camera makes everything yellow all the time, so the colors on the painting are more true I think now.</p><div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00d09e6c4fb8be2b 6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00cd972a77044cd5" at:format="strip-horizontal" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-strip enclosure-strip-horizontal" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style=" margin: 5px; border: 1px solid; text-align: center;"><a href="http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00d09e6c4fb8be2b.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Cutiecopy"><img src="http://a0.vox.com/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00d09e6c4fb8be2b-120pi" alt="Cutiecopy" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00cd972a77044cd5.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Beatrice"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00cd972a77044cd5-120pi" alt="Beatrice" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a></div> </div> <!-- end enclosure --> <p> I&#39;ve been doing larger work, and will continue to do so for a bit, so part of me wants a large format scanner. I&#39;ve had my Canon scanner for 6 years with no problems, so I have no excuse to get a new one really, but dangit if these digital shots just don&#39;t get it down as well as laying the art on a plate. I&#39;m not down with spending upwards of $1300 on a new large format scanner though. That is just too much for me right now -- as much as I need it.</p><p>Bad enough I&#39;m actually going to go ahead and plunk down stupid money for this rare used paperback from the 70s:</p><p><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/69/19/34a6b340dca000c3b98e7010.L.jpg" /></p><p>It is my birthday present to myself.
